Warring academics , never pretty. DAldredge writes with news of another
side to the economic debate in academia over the plans of this year's two
leading presidential candidates, pointing to this "statement Wednesday by
368 economists, including six Nobel laureates: Gary Becker, James
Buchanan, Milton Friedman, Robert Lucas, Robert Mundell, and -- the winner
of this year's Nobel Prize in Economics -- Edward C. Prescott. The
economists warned that Sen. Kerry's policies 'would, over time, inhibit
capital formation, depress productivity growth, and make the United States
less competitive internationally. The end result would be lower U.S.
employment and real wage growth.'"
