| economist | : | |
one who, starting from a position of over-educated and under-informed logical supposition, commences making erroneous and devastating judgements about the functioning of the world, and then formally codifies their misunderstanding in dogmatic and arrogant absurdity Used in a sentence: "man, that guy is such an *economist*, i wish he'd just listen to people once in a while!"

... I shall argue that the postulates of the classical theory are applicable to a special case only and not to the general case... Moreover, the characteristics of the special case assumed by the classical theory happen not to be those of the economic society in which we actually live...
...it is fortunate that the workers, though unconsciously, are instinctively more reasonable economists than the classical school...
The language is different today, Gene, but the sentiment is identical.
