Mankiw's ideology

当代经济学泰斗曼昆的一个学生（现为Duke教授）写了一篇文章，评论曼昆：

If there’s any strong ideological undercurrent in Mankiw’s teaching, I would say that it’s Nerdism: the belief that people should listen to, and learn from, nerds. Because believe me—and I say this with genuine respect and affection—Mankiw is a nerd’s nerd.

这倒是一语道破了当今学术界许多重量级人物的特点。
