Entre los papeles privados de Karl Polanyi se conservan estos versos satíricos sobre la economía neoclásica que escribió en 1963.
I am the very model of a classical economist;
I’ve information on the subject making me an optimist
I know the pricing system, so I ignore the historical
From Paleolithic to Neolithic in order categorical.
I’m very well acquainted though with matters mathematical;
For fuller understanding I’ll just supply the quadratical.
Any problem is answered by my marginal analysis
When you grant my assumption of a ‘ceteris paribus’!
