One of my favorite economists, Brad DeLong, was asked a pointed question about whether economists should get some blame for the 2008 crash.
'When did politicians ever listen to economists?'
Back in the 1980s, Nobel economist Lester Thurow tried to get people to listen to common sense. That was during the 'trickle up' days. Republicans were too busy robbing the country to pay attention.
"The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars,
but in ourselves"
