We live in a time when lying isno longer considered dishonorable if you succeed in achieving yourobjective. It might even be your government sanctioned duty. Heck, youmight be admired for it, get a really nice golden parachute, beknighted, or even elected president. And economists are no different,being sullied by their exposure to the marketplace, which is much morerichly adorning than a quiet department office and admiring butamazingly similar students.

These are the times in which welive. We are no different than prior civilizations. We just are gradingbehaviour on a really exceptionally generous curve. No financier,lobbyist, businessman, or corrupt politician left behind.
