This guy wrote an impressive record of more than 160 academic publications. I remember when I took economics subject in school, we used one of his his books as text book. There should be quite a number of local economists today at one point or the other benefited from his academic publications, and not surprised still, amongst them could be some today who were fast to shoot down his idea straight.
So you worship him and believe everything he said was right even though you can't defend it?
