You mentioned in an earlier answer your thoughts regarding the loss of credibility among economists.

To press on that, what do you think of the criticism that, real or perceived, that on some level academic economics has been corrupted in ways similar to what happened with scientists and the tobacco industry? I.e. high paying consulting jobs, speaking fees for private institutions, commissioned studies, positions within BoD's has had a corrupting effect on academic economics and, on the flip side, effects their roles within politics when academic economists take on policymaking positions.
