The CIA Spies Among Us

I have hinted a number of times here at EPJ that I suspect a top-level occasionally libertarian-leaning economist might be doing undercover work for the CIA.

I recently had a conversation with a member of his team and I brought up the idea. His odd denial makes me even more suspicious.

Now, I think that not only is the top-level economist doing CIA undercover work but so are other members of his team.

    Whether it's due to common interests, shared membership in an old boys' network, or whatever, high-level academics doing stuff for the CIA has been a thing for a very long time. For a case study that is also a very fun read, see the later chapters of John McPhee's "The Ransom of Russian Art" (1994).
