As a scholar of law and public policy currently doing a PhD based heavily on the econometric effects of legislation, I have great respect for your education. I just wouldn't classify either of us as a scientist.

Guess: Milton Friedman?

The book being 'Free to Choose'

No because he was a physicist.

Milton Friedman is correct.
Congratulations !

Well done, Jaguar.

On this occasion I offer my apologies to Hamish since Doug shares his view that economists are scientists.

I'm calling BS on that one.

To call economics a science is misleading at best.

Google "Milton Friedman" "Free to Choose" "New York Times bestseller" and you will see this book was indeed a bestseller.

Oh, my.

I just shouldn't play this game. Thats all there is to it. I leave it to you folks.
Best of luck to all, and thanks for the fun.

Don't take our comments to heart - it's just competitive spirit. Please stay, Douglas - you're welcome here.

Yes, that's certainly the spirit in which I intended it. Sorry if my chirping was too abrasive.
