"the economists"? Which economists are you talking about? I think most economists don't have an opinion because they don't know much about it or they just don't care.
There was a poll of 10 economists linked here recently in which a couple thought it would fail and the rest thought it was too soon to tell. Nobody said they were afraid of it.

Ok, there is one of 1000+ economists out there that think it's "evil". There are a few more as well. But overall, like several posters have mentioned, most economists don't know a thing about it. Those that do don't have enough info to judge it good or bad yet.
