So this is how free speech & anonymity die; with self-proclaimed "liberal" professors furiously circlejerking over the rise of an Orwellian surveillance state
"As per the poll I ran last week, though, 27% of my readers have a PhD and 19% are economists, so this article is really for them."
Listen, buster, I ain't got no stinking degree but this is for me too! As far as: "Some readers will criticize this heavy reliance on other people's words..."--this is reportage, and I think you do it brilliantly.
I'll come back and read this whole thing after I've had enough tea to be able to make sense of as much of it as I can. Just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate thorough work and the grit and patience you needed to do it.
Excellent reporting! I am totally your target audience here, and I am well pleased :D
The rot in academic economics departments and societies needs to be expunged, and it is good to see that the AEA is feeling that. The wailing and whining to close down EJMR is strong evidence of how much needs exposed in the field, and how much those in the field fear that exposure. They are clearly doing the right things!

Brilliant Exposé. The deeper question is why economics academia is full of beta males and Karens.
EJMR performs an important public service. No wonder they want it cancelled.
