I think of "economists" as two rough groups.

Some conjure formulas on blackboards that tell their anointed madmen in authority how to direct others resources. These are contemporary versions of witch doctors. Like their predecessors, they get unwarranted respect.

Another group studies experience and draw conclusions about what worked, what didn't, and why. Their prescriptions follow from that scrutiny.

The record of the former doesn't compare to the latter. Mish seems to take inspiration from the best of those who analyze history.
