Elsewhere

Having read his book, I think Zachery Carter is quite aware of the reputation of the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, the New School for Social Reserarch, Utah, and a few other places. In his New Yorker article, he does not say anything about heterodox or non-mainstream economics. He does not say anything about the sociology of the field. He does note Krugman and others calling Weber (or her work) 'stupid'. Carter treats Weber as any other economist that has something interesting to say about current issues in understanding the economy of the United States and other countries.

I think some of my work is not too far away from Weber's work. I wonder if she knows about the work of Adam Rose and others using input-output analysis to understand the economic impact of disastors, such as hurricanes and earthquakes.

Update 16 June 2023: Added link to Meg Jacobs article.
