Stiglitz
Prof. Joe Stiglitz has been on a tear recently, first describing 5 lessons we should learn from the crisis and later presenting a tough message at the American Economic Association.

Before the reader thinks “well academe didn’t do much better”, he also blames economists for continuing to rely on “rational player” models.
