A late April Food's posting (but who is fooled?)

A fairly long and funny satirical piece by Yves Smith on the capture of the economics profession by corporate interests (see here).  A couple of details disturbed me.  First, the notions of proof and truth are interestingly applied throughout the article although in unknowing ways.  What is proof?  Whose truth and how do you know it?  Second, the comments give me chills.  So many people thought this was a "true" story.
