Denise, my elder son, Michael is a political scientist, and some of the
folks at
the New School in New York City call themselves political economists. I
asked Michael, a libertarian, what the difference in the terms connoted,
and he said that Marxists call themselves political economists. The
problem now is: can a non-Marxist legitimately call herself a political
economist?
