In part 1 of INET's interview with Charles Ferguson, the director of the film "Inside Job" talks about how the financial services industry is shaping and corrupting academic programs in economics
@re2dance from GMO foods in agricultural industry, to movie industry, to military industry, to education industry, to news industry, to big pharma, every fuking thing is corrupted.
This is something that not only happens in Economic departments.... the medical field is experiencing the same sort of pervasive perverse behavior. Professors are solicited by pharmaceutical companies as well...I could go on and on....it is all so twisted...
I saw Ferguson on Real Time with Bill Maher last night. He barely spoke at all on the panel and seemed very reticent which is a shame, although I'm sure he's smarter than about 90% of the people who have ever been on that show.
