Bretton Woods, Past and Present: 1. Ethics in Economics

The History of Economics Playground is a featured blog on the INET website. INET invited these young bloggers -- self-styled as "The Kids" -- to attend our annual conference in Bretton Woods in April 2011, and we provided them with a video team. The Kids were playing in the halls of the Mount Washington Hotel, chasing everyone from George Akerlof to Anatole Kaletsky to Brad DeLong to James Galbraith. They produced four videos, of which this one is the first.

The video shows a dozen prominent economists, each with a different take on corruption in academia: we are all right; economics is no more corrupted than other sciences; corruption is substantial; economics is rotten to the core. But see for yourself.
