I am unable to verify that Nadeau is a "Professor of Public Policy" at GMU, nor that Nadeau has any standing as an economist of any variety. GMU's page (http://english.gmu.edu/faculty/bio.php?fname=Robert&lname=Nadeau) indicates that he is a full professor of English. He does not appear to make his CV available anywhere online.

I just read that same article in SA. It doesn't say he's a "professor of" public policy, but that he teaches environmental science and public policy. Basically, I think what it comes down to is that he's an English professor ranting about his environmental politics. In the article, he basically argued that "neo-classical economics", meaning free-market economics... are obsolete. As far as I can tell, he has no credentials in economics either.

Factual Accuracy

There are a number of factual inaccuracies; he does not seem as a "science historian", and the external link claiming to be the biography have incorrect information such as "full professor of environmental science and public policy". The correct information can be taken from this link: [1]. Logos (talk) 08:46, 9 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
