IMO, these are the most overrated #economists in #pop #culture (in no particular order):
Paul Krugman
Arthur Laffer
Steve Levitt
James Galbraith
Steven Keen
Dan Ariely
Milton Friedman
Eugene Fama
John Maynard Keynes
Jeff Sachs
Daron Acemoglu
Ben Stein
Darrell Duffie
Noah Smith
Tyler Cowen
Esther Duflo
Boyan Jovanovic

Being overrated doesn't contradict being excellent. A few of them are very good, but not that good.
