Now the point is that Jerome is also a well-meaning individual and the things that are said to him do hurt him (and this being "his" blog even things that are said between third parties leave him hurt and confused) and he does remember these things, which makes it non unexpected that he would take offence at the way you framed the Pirsig quote. After all, Jerome is the most vehement defender of the EU on this site, he even gets flak from me and DoDo for it. Most economists teach a theoretical framework that has been shown to be fundamentally useless. -- James K. Galbraith
