Dear Simsoc list members,
Several of you are aware that we (Scott Moss and Bruce Edmonds) at the
Centre for Policy Modelling are severely critical of the methods and
models of economics (as currently practiced). In a nutshell, our view
is that virtually all economics is simply bad or unsuccessful
science.
As a result of holding (and proclaiming) this view, we repeatedly meet
economists (typically young PhD students and junior, untenured academic
staff) who say privately that they agree with us, but that to say so
publically would damage their careers.
CAMREC is a mailing list where such discontents can safely be aired and
alternative approaches discussed. It is an unmoderated mailing list that
preserves anonymity by removing the headers indicating who the posts are
from. It is up to senders to include their signature or not.
