Where's the luv?

Not all have luv for the work economists do:

'An economist is a surgeon with an excellent scalpel and a rough-edged lancet, who operates beautifully on the dead and tortures the living. ', Nicholas Chamfort, 18th Century writer

'An economist is a man who states the obvious in terms of the incomprehensible'
Alfred A. Knopf , 20th Century book publisher
