Should economists remain as detached scholars, pursuing their
research to the satisfaction of themselves and fellow academics? Or
should they try to educate their fellow men and women in economic
ideas, hoping to have an impact on economic policy? In this
Occasional Paper, Professor Daniel B. Klein addresses these issues,
concluding that if economists want to be influential in
policy-making, they must be willing to communicate with the
'Everyman'. Scholasticism is valuable in encouraging high research
standards, but it has been carried too far in the economics
profession, to the detriment of research and teaching which are
relevant to policy. Five well-known economists - John Flemming,
Charles Goodhart, Israel Kirzner, Deirdre McCloskey and Gordon
Tullock - then comment on Klein's paper.
