Let It Bleed pays tribute to JKG

Bob does a reverential waltz past the coffin of economist John Kenneth Galbraith:

From the website johnkennethgalbraith.com, which I offer for giggles: "Galbraith will turn ninety-seven in October, and it is unlikely that many professional economists in their thirties, forties, and perhaps even their fifties have read him with much care. By contemporary standards, Galbraith was more an economic sociologist than a technical economist ... Had Galbraith devoted more effort to gathering empirical evidence to support his views and to finding ways to test them statistically, his influence on economics would have been greater. Galbraith bears the responsibility for failing to do this." [emphasis added] "Empirical evidence to support his views"! Ha! You slay me! He's been quoted in Bartlett's, for God's sake - what more do you people want?!
