Accountability and Economists

If economists were held accountable in their job performance in the same way as administrative assistants or dishwashers, they would be fired.

On Accountability

This is yet another instance, where the people in power get to mess up, again and again and again, and never get held accountable. It is only people who clean toilets and drive trucks for a living who are held responsible for the quality of their work. The elite have a lifetime license for incompetence.
