I’m taking nominations for the best examples of dismal economic scientists.
While I wait for your suggestions, I’m going to offer two of my own nominations: Tyler Cowen and Paul Romer.I would rule Tyler Cowen out as an economist. IMHO, he is a shill for oligarchic "democracy" based on classical liberalism.
Romer is only suffering from a curable cognitive-affective bias, a common syndrome called "scientism." Maybe reading Paul Feyerabend would help him get over it.
