This book provides an eye-opening expose on economics professors
that will surely shock anyone who is not familiar with the topic,
and even some of those who are familiar with it. It is critical of
the behavior of economics professors, but is not critical of the
field of economics itself. In fact, the book argues that it is
essential for economics professors to improve in the work they
perform, precisely because of the vital importance of their field.
Other books that criticize economics professors typically present
complex arguments that interest only the most advanced scholars.
However, this book is completely different. It is written to be
understandable to anyone who has with an interest in economics,
regardless of their background. At the same time, the book does
include the most relevant scholarly arguments-it just presents them
in a manner that allows anyone to understand them. Also unlike
other books on economics, How Economics Professors Can Stop Failing
Us is written in the context of a genuine expose. As such, it
ventures "backstage" behind the "show business" that has dominated
the profession, revealing the profession's deep, dark, (and at
times rather ugly) secrets. The book is able to do this by having
an author who has experienced first- hand, studied, and written on
this topic area for over three decades, who has organized training
seminars on it, and who has served for over a decade as the
Executive Director of the Association for Integrity and Responsible
Leadership in Economics. While exposing the profession's shameful
problems, the book also offers great hope in providing realistic
solutions to them. One of the main solutions it proposes is for
economics professors who are now failing us to follow, and learn
from, those other professors who are not failing us-who have,
instead, admirably upheld the principles of professional ethics and
scientific integrity. In this sense, How Economics Professors Can
Stop Failing Us offers the most hope, and perhaps the only hope,
for economics professors to improve, and to play the responsible
role that their students, their employers, and society overall,
expects of them.
