A comment on Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences 2013: Trendspotting in asset markets. Parent comment
The current people who are the "top economists" in the world, are, generally, ill-fit to their jobs.
Their abilities to assess risk are horrible.
They are making the world a more dangerous place, not safer.
Economics is very complicated, much more complicated than most leading economists think.
I am talking about people heading the leading economic and financial institutions today.
They are dangerous because they are overly confident of their horrible "predictions".
