Colander and Klamer 1987: The Making of an Economist

David Colander and Arjo Klamer sent a questionnaire to graduate students at top-ranking economic programs. Table 3, below, is stunning. It lends support to Robert Kuttner's (1985) statement, summarizing Leontief and Galbraith's views, that "Departments of economics are graduating a generation of idiots savants, brilliant at esoteric mathematics yet innocent of actual economic life."

[Idiots savants was later used in a document summarizing the state of economic education -- I'm not sure if it was in reference to Kuttner's paper.]
