Heck of a footnote in that Fed paper: "I leave aside the deeper concern that the primary role of mainstream economics in our society is to provide an apologetics for a criminally oppressive, unsustainable, and unjust social order." https://t.co/HXmFOXv5rg

You know, when you write an economic paper for the Federal Reserve, remember to proofread the footnotes as well.
Either he had an intern pull a fast one on him, or Jeremy B. Rudd, Senior Adviser for the Program Direction Section for Research and Statistics at the Federal reserve is way cooler than one would expect for someone to be at that august institution.
My money is actually on the latter, since his lede paragraph quotes Dashiell Hammett's book, The Dain Curse, which implies a strong affinity for the darkest of sarcasm.
