From my favorite economist, Tyler Cohen:
Which disciplines are the most and least politically correct?
Here are the data, based on one study; I am surprised that psychology is "tops," with a 58.7% rate of political correctness. The other "winners" are not hard to predict, though "art" comes in at a surprisingly low 14.6%. Economics is rated at 4.7%, noting that beneath us lie Marketing, Accounting, Computer Science, Biology, and now into the zero percent category, Finance, Management Information, and Mechanical and Electrical Engineering. OK, wise guys, give the best single sentence (you are allowed one comma) account of these numbers that you can.
This is a useful guide to understanding why I'm taking Cobb in a different direction. I'm making peace with my inner scientist.
