Naked Capitalism has the article Look Who is Selling the TransPacific Partnership by Yves Smith. Her email introduction to this article said:
Some Serious Economists have signed a letter supporting the TransPacific Partnership and the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership. The missive says a lot about the discipline, and not in a good way.
The article is a call to action to counter this letter with calls to your Congress people.
By the way “serious economists” is meant, in this case, as a pejorative. These are economists that the Lame Stream Media treats as knowledgeable, but in fact are just paid shills for the oligarchy.
I read through the list of signatories to come up with the following classification:
Not surprising
Alan Greenspan
Charles L. Schultz
Martin Feldstein
R. Glenn Hubbard
N. Gregory Mankiw
Ben S. Bernanke
Austan D. Goolsbee
Astonishing
Christina D. Romer
I’ll let you read the letter to see what organizations these people claim to be from.
