Within minutes, a senior faculty from MIT, and future Nobel prize winner, wrote an email to the president of the University demanding the removal of the news article. /8
The problem is that CH's work is not actually good, is published in journals edited by people who do not have any background in economic theory, and it is in fact a joke for the university to push to the media research as "groundbreaking" in field X when the actual faculty in that field at the university, including future Nobel winners in the field, correctly view the work as highly misleading.

I mean yeah, they're technically right but why do they care? Why do they need to be mean about it?

Smal dck energy
I don't know anything about the content of the article nor the criticism surrounding it, but pretty much everything CH describes going through is ridiculous. No discipline should resort to personal grudges, spiteful comments, or childish retorts in the discussion of any one paper or topic like that.
Does being HRM just give you an ego like that? Or do you have to already have that ego to get there in the first place?
The issue here isn’t whether the work is ground breaking or not. It’s how D&B responded. If they can’t do it in a civil manner than that is very indicative of their own problems. If their work is that good they shouldn’t feel threatened enough by a junior scholar to take action. As for the whispering in the ear thing, that’s horrible. Then again it takes a certain type of man to leave his own wife and son for a student

Why is it not good?

The highlight of this thread is an MIT Econ prof whispering in his ear “I would have liked so much to be the reviewer of your paper, because I would have enjoyed so much rejecting it.”
Actually one of the most disgusting things I've read online. He should reveal the name of that professor.
