Barkley Rosser — On Being A "Very Serious Person"

Economics is now beginning to strongly intersect with policy and politics. unsurprisingly but it surprising ways.

It is from this sort of nonsense, where in fact the current Greek government is showing that it is in fact in touch with reality, that somehow Tyler declares that it should be overthrown so that "Very Serious People" can be in charge. I really am not sure if he is being ironic or what. Really. Calling for the overthrow of a government for not doing something he disapproves of, well, this is not serious. Really.
