> We're still waiting I don't recall you asking me for a name, but if you insist, is Richard Arnott [1] good enough for you? He wrote the highly cited "Time for Revisionism on Rent Control?" You can explore the reaction of the economics profession to his arguments on Google Scholar [3]. He cites the figure of 93% of eonomists opposing rent control, which then could be considered a consensus, but that was before the work of Krueger and Card cast a shadow on these orthodoxies coming from simplistic marginalist arguments whose empirical support was weak anecdotal evidence. Today there is no such consensus. Incidentally, between the period of the perceived success of the New Deal and the pro-interventionist era immediately following WW2, there was also a consensus of economists on this question, but the opposite one: rent controls were viewed as a good thing.
