Professor Benjamin Zycher was an economist for The Rand Corporation and a lecturer at UCLA who became erratically involved in the cash-for-comments network run for the Tobacco Institute. He became recruited into a clandestine network of academic economists who secretly worked for the tobacco industry through the Tobacco Institute.

One of the ‘cash-for-comments economists’ described in article cited and quoted.

His speech feels much like a book I’m reading now: The Green New Deal: Economics and Policy Analysis by Dr. Benjamin Zycher (American Enterprise Institute, Feb. 2019). It was written just to refute the basis for the Green New Deal, and I bought it just to refute it.

Warning those who understand all the issues evoked by this calmly delivered rant of non-sequiturs, straw men and other logic and knowledge fails best have a vomit bucket to hand.

Blue Collar Logic: a cesspit of ignorance and prejudice for our times.
