Rhetoric Matters

Deirdre McCloskey

Challenge, 2009, vol. 52, issue 4, 25-31

Abstract: Deirdre McCloskey pulls no punches in this eloquent piece. Dishonesty is a problem in economics—in particular, the misuse of "statistical significance" bothers her. But mostly she is annoyed by the fact that the profession will not discuss the problem seriously.
