Economics Redux

An intellectual churn seems to be going on in economists community. Why it is interesting is because this churn is about the status and worth of the discipline itself. While Bradford Delong demands (Economic Times, June 20) a new economic theory that can replace the old-age ones, T C A Srinivasa-Raghavan wonders (Business Standard, June 21) how long the con aka economics will sustain itself. Interesting reads esp. coming from the top notch scholars in the field.

As for me, lemme go and try to establish the worth of my own profession, Information Systems (Hey, wipe that grin off your face or I'll do it for you!)

(Actually everything seems to be being revisited these days. Take for example last nite's Alumni Redux. Literally: Three junior alumni [IIMB, 2001 batch] landed at my room at 0130 hrs last nite [actually this morning] from Chennai and found me bumbling at being woken up at unearthly hour)
