People outside Chemistry would never go round saying that Organic Chemistry was the biggest fraud ever in the world. They would not have the knowledge to judge. I find it disappointing that non-economists seem to be able to make these assertions not knowing about Economics. Or, more accurately, they seem to have a view of the kind of Economics poorly taught to them in the dim past. I hope they come to Imperial to study it and get a different view.

Is ICT like electricity? Chad Syverson paper

On the perennial topic http://cafehayek.com/2013/10/on-the-relatively-low-salaries-of-relatively-essential-workers.html. Why are essential workers, like firefighters, so poorly paid relative to inessential workers like football players? I do wonder however if the logic is right, about bankers. Are their skills really in such short supply? The additional ingredient is, I think, the too big to fail subsidy.
