Remember back in the 1960′s, when all reputable economists “knew” that the USSR was growing faster than the U.S.? Or in the 1980′s, when they “knew” that outsourcing wouldn’t hurt the middle class? And at least we can get rid of bad politicians, but somehow bad social science just never seems to go away.
