I wonder if Thomas Piketty has broken the logjam on that?

People are talking about economics. OK, relatively few people are reading his book, but for example : I was in New Zealand two weeks ago, and he was on the cover of the widest-circulation magazine (and the articles were quite good). The fact that he has expounded some simple ideas, which have strong moral overtones, and that the high priests of economics are reduced to hand-waving and bluster, will surely bring more people to seriously question their unquestionable orthodoxy.

Hand waving and bluster has worked so far.  I don't see why it won't continue through the near term.
