It is all a triumph of artifice over common sense. Only eccentric individuals without a well-developed sense of survival dare to demur. Who are the Crisis Makers? 29 The rise of the crisis makers How do we account for the rise of the crisis maker? Is there a connection between the decline of strategic leadership and the rise of the economic expert? Why is the emergence of the economics profession in general and of neoclassicism in particular such a recent phenomenon? To answer these questions it is essential to understand the dynamic mechanism of modern society.
Most economic experts identify the central global problem with difficulties that have emerged in financial markets in East Asia, Russia and Brazil. The Economist, that self-confident organ of neoliberalism, is more concerned with the ‘turmoil in financial markets’ than with what is happening in the real global economy. Indeed it does not readily distinguish between the two. It tells us, for example, that the ‘financial turmoil’ began in Asia a year or so ago, when currency crises there led to a sharp increase in emerging market bond yields.
In these historical circumstances, intellectual victory favoured the ‘gameplayers’, who were the neoclassicists. My argument in Economics without Time (1993) is that ‘gameplayers’ have an advantage over ‘realists’ because what matters in the intellectual world, as opposed to the real world, is not how realistic your analysis is but how many articles can be placed in the profession’s ‘best’ journals. In this respect the neoclassicists have it all over the historicists. As neoclassical economics is a deductive– mathematical discipline, its practitioners reach their intellectual peak much earlier and are able to generate more journal articles than the historicists, who require considerable experience to reach intellectual maturity and who, owing to the greater complexity of reality reconstruction, write books rather than articles.
