US Nobel laureate slams Bush gov't as "worst" in American history

Berlin, July 29, IRNA -- American Nobel Prize laureate for Economics
George A. Akerlof lashed out at the government of US President George
W. Bush, calling it the "worst ever" in American history, the online
site of the weekly Der Spiegel magazine reported Tuesday.
"I think this is the worst government the US has ever had in its
more than 200 years of history. It has engaged in extradordinarily
irresponsible policies not only in foreign policy and economics but
also in social and environmental policy," said the 2001 Nobel Prize
laureate who teachesg economics at the University of California in
Berkeley.
"This is not normal government policy. Now is the time for
(American) people to engage in civil disobedience. I think it's time
to protest - as much as possible," the 61-year-old scholar added.
Akerlof has been recognized for his research that borrows from
sociology, psychology, anthropology and other fields to determine
economic influences and outcomes.
His areas of expertise include macro-economics, monetary policy
and poverty.
