Hey Steve, doesn't this kind of prove Chris's point? You *are* an economist?
As in "I *am* a Christian (Muslim, Protestant, etc.)"?
I'm trained as both a biologist and a social scientist, have advance
degrees in both, but I don't get upset if people say nasty things about
biologists or social scientists. That's because I'm *not* self defined as
such. Are you really that invested in your professional affiliation? If so,
I suggest that Chris may be correct and you treat your discipline as a
religion. In other words, you seem to have basic value orientation toward
being an *economist.*
