David: Cheers for such a great response. Long ago I saw a study on the elite hand picked faculty (that many departments did not even want), I will try to track it down. I too like Steve Keen and Michael Hudson. So many great points petro-dollar, etc. On the Eco-economics front, note: http://www.paecon.net/PAEReview/issue102/Daneke102.pdf. In essence, hit em where it hurts, money and banking.
