Hi Helgard,

You ask: "I wonder if Mr Muller would concede that the same apply to academics and analyst of the libertarian, classic liberal and conservative bend (broadly in a popular sense - the right) in 99% of the rest of social sciences and humanities?"

If you mean in relation to not calling people who are otherwise reasonably well-qualified 'bogus economists' just because you disagree with their views, then yes: it should apply across the spectrum. As a matter of principle, I think the correct approach in academia has to be a 'pluralist' one, which means not trying to purge people just because they disagree with you.

Regards,

Sean
