I don't see how that answers the question. The question was by what means economists were especially rewarded for being in favor of the rich and the status quo. What about other academic departments who tend to be more left wing (e.g. sociology)? How are their academics rewarded differently to in economics?
- danieltillett 12y agoI think you might have misinterpreted what I said. I did not say economist are being better rewarded for supporting the status quo, but that those that did got most of the public attention. Who has control of the media and gets to set the questions being asked - it certainly isn't the sociologists.
