I have seen another kind of dishonesty (at least intellectual dishonesty) on the part of economists. I was chairing a committee made up of bank economists and bank tax directors and posed a question which I thought would set off quite an argument among the economists. I asked "What type of tax system would be best for the economy?" I got unanimous agreement - "a flat tax". I was so taken aback that I asked "Do you all agree that a flat tax would be best for the economy?" Again they all said yes. I asked why don't we hear this from economists more often?. They answered - NO ONE EVER ASKS THAT QUESTION.
