– from Dan Sullivan in the USA

Burying evidence is what economists were hired to do by monopoly-funded institutions.

• Steel monopolist Andrew Carnegie and banking monopolist Andrew Mellon founded what became the Carnegie-Mellon University.

• Oil monopolist John D. Rockefeller founded the University of Chicago (which is great on money but terrible on land monopoly).

• Western Union monopolist Ezra Cornell founded Cornell University.

• Johns Hopkins was founded largely with money from the B&O Railroad.

• Leland Stanford, dissatisfied with his domination of the University of California, founded Stanford University.

• Railroad and shipping monopolist Cornelius Vanderbilt founded Vanderbilt University.

• Shipping monopolist Joseph Wharton founded the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.

With older universities, such as Harvard and Columbia, monopolists took over boards by making large donations in exchange for board seats.

Economists, appointed by these monopoly-funded institutions, founded the American Economics Association, which set out to redefine the terms of economics in a most Orwellian fashion, and to turn themselves into a Pharisaical priestly class of a new orthodoxy, attacking classical economists and others with a passion usually reserved for blasphemers.
