What do government economists do?
http://notthetreasuryview.blogspot.com/2012/01/british-jobs-and-foreign-workers-todays.html
Jonathan, a former boss of mine, makes interesting reading. His ‘best thing I did in government’ is great. However, the list of things that economists in government is lacking one main thing that he should be as aware of as I am: sometimes government economists get out and about and take a very unique perspective with them that they can share with the outside world.
