  • When Economic Advisors Stop Caring About Honesty, Accuracy, or Credibility

    2 weeks ago | dorfonlaw.org | Neil H. Buchanan

    The current administration's economic advisors are truly fascinating, but in the worst possible way. Notably, however, they were for the most part highly educated at elite institutions (horrors!) and would seem at least superficially to have expertise in the subjects on which they are working.
