It must be humor day in the econblogosphere. Noah Smith offers a delightful illustrated bestiary of various different commenters. Among those skewered: libertarians, post-Keynesians, Republicans, MMT-ers, market monetarists.

[Market Monetarists:] Favorite dead economist: No one. The spot is being reserved for Scott Sumner, along with thousands of life-sized terra cotta grad students.

One caveat, Art Laffer isn’t dead yet.
No, he isn’t dead, but one could argue his career is over in regards to impact on policy–.i.e. I took it to mean rhetorically dead….
Bah, it is only temporary…macroeconomics is really where economics looks silly…macro is like atmospheric physics lots of fancy models that nobody really believes.
I also took Laffer as black humor; he still appears on CNBC.
I’d only wished Smith had been able to imagine more pictures of how they really look; the nerdy photos were a well visited a few too many times. I LOL’ed at the Austrian pics.
