What do you think about economists, who study the theories of economics and brag about being vast in the study of economics, yet doesn't help or contribute sufficiently to control or stop world economic meltdown?
I do not think they are to be blame for the economic distress. Economists are here and have knowledge about the economy but they don't have the power to implement what they know. Remember, the one with the power are those who are sitting in the government. So do not blame them for the economic meltdown. The situation is the same with a company that is getting bankrupt and you happen to know the situation and know the solution but you are unable to help because you are not affiliated with that company thus you have no rights or authority to fix such a problem.
