I've reached the conclusion that all those ivory-tower political-economists are total boobs and morons.

The nonpartisan theories of Frederick Winslow Taylor (1856-1915) are much more insightful. His incredible genius is still not fully understood or appreciated. He was way ahead of his time.

Sadly Willie, there appears to be no hope for you if you confuse economics with project management. Further are you implying that Bastiat was in some sense "partisan?" As you noted he died in 1850, so he could hardly be partisan in anything going on today.

Interesting. What do you think of John Locke?
