Daron Acemoglu blasts The Economist over their bizarre critique of him: “Your central verdict that I am 'oddly unconvincing' rests on unnamed economists revealing their true opinion of me over a few drinks. No persons who have been offered drinks to get to this truth are named. Would you publish a letter asserting that, over a few drinks, most people tell me that your newspaper is no longer worth subscribing to? The only person quoted with such views is a blogger, Noah Smith, a thin basis for judging a lifetime of academic work [...] If this is the best you can do with a body of work spanning 33 years, then it is your critique that is 'oddly unconvincing.'”
"Αν είσαι άμοιρος τής λατινικής, σού χρειάζεται μια κούρα συνεχών sine qua non, όπως κι αν είσαι κουφός των γεύσεων σού χρειάζεται δίαιτα με μουσική πικρής σοκολάτας» (σ. 72). Ελύτης, "Εκ του πλησίον"
"Four generals
Set our for Iran.
With the first one, war did not agree.
The second never won a victory.
For the third the weather never was right.
For the fourth the men would never fight.
Four generals
And not a single man!"
