Hoisted from Comments: Intellectual Garbage Cleanup: Gene Epstein Edition

Two comments where I feel their pain:

Brad DeLong's Semi-Daily Journal: Intellectual Garbage Cleanup: Gene Epstein Edition: It's like reading the rantings of a crackpot who think's he's proved Einstein was wrong. --hack | September 22, 2006 at 10:53 AM

i cannot for the life of me figure out what epstein is trying to say here, although i like hack's explanation of why i can't figure out what epstein is trying to say here. --howard | September 22, 2006 at 11:28 AM

As I said, Tyler Cowen did a really bad thing when he didn't deep-six the free copy of Econospinning that they sent him. And Barrons is doing a really bad thing in not retiring Epstein. It's too sad to be funny.
