Heilbroner was one of the more influential "economists" of the century past, a socialist and proponent of top-down planning. Reality forced him to finally concede, in an '89 NYT piece, that his side had been wrong all along. But he had a fall-back position: saving the environment mandated more of what had failed.

His malevolent influence lingers and is probably the inspiration for such hustlers as represented by Al Gore.
