    "Your other error is in over stating what I said about economists being helpful to society"

    Didn't appear to me to be overstating what you said. You stated that ...
    "Economists help to show the cause of The Great Depression and also helped to fix it.
    Have only fiddled at the edges since arguably but that was a major contribution to mankind in both instances."


    In any case .... "arguably" ... What's the problem ? Isn't that what we are doing ?
    If you don't like it or disagree, then that's fine with me.

    I have simply maintained my view expressed as an aside to Redp that...

    "Off topic, I can't think of a single thing that all the Economists in the World have ever contributed to Human advancement or welfare.
    They seem fixated with demanding that the concept and practice of a "Society" is wrong and should be replaced by an "Economy".
    Up the mighty dollar !
    Mind you, I could be wrong so don't burn Ross's book just yet."


    You were the one that chose to come in and defend economists.

    "Pay attention!"

    Generally it's presumptuous to give free character assessments, but my friendly suggestion is to get off your high horse and take some lessons in how to not take yourself so seriously.
    Otherwise there's a real danger you will spend a miserable life trying to prove to others how great and right you are.
    Which is arguably the most useless way of life ever devised.
