Setting aside the FA for a second and considering just the market for lemons itself. Imagine being George Akerlof.

[1] Nobel Memorial Prize if you're a Taleb-inspired pointless hair splitter
[2] Janet Yellen
- profstasiak 4y agoI studied economics. Akerlof is more famous economist. Yellen is famous political economist
