Jedi Economics

In economics, there are no absolutes. Economic thinking can be an honest inquiry into the how humans interact with each other, or it can become an ideological club used to beat others into submission. You decide.

About Me

D Marshall Meador, PhD: After receiving a MA in Economics at the University of Missouri-Columbia in 1982, I went through two doctoral programs in Economics (is that rational?). The first time was at Duke University where I finished all the course work and passed two of the three economics comps before leaving, but never wrote the dissertation nor finished the degree. About 18 years later I enrolled in the Interdisciplinary PhD program in Economics at the Univ. of Missouri-Kansas City, took all the classes, sat for comps in four fields instead of one (economics, econometrics, social science, and political science), and finally wrote the dissertation. I have thus seen, on an intimate level, both worlds of economics: the traditional, orthodox, American Economics Association approved, and Chicago-influenced world as taught at Duke in the mid-1980’s; and the non-traditional, heterodox, Post Keynesian and Veblenian influenced world as taught at UMKC since the 1950’s. Between those two bouts of doctoral studies, I was Vice President & Manager of Equity Research for Scout Investment Advisors. For a brief time at SIA, I was also the Chief Economist.
