to go with the .. er .. 3% and the .. er .. 60% and the er .. 1/20th and all the other ‘silly’ abstractions that impose hardship on the foolish citizens who put up with such ‘NONSENSE’ that simply supports the dictatorship of the financial system.

I hadn’t read her bio to this detail, and the indirect link to the Jan 2008 paper made me less negative about the worth of economists.
And I want to point out, that she had substantial real world experience, before getting into academic economics.
