Satyajit Das, from his review, "Even More Crunch-Porn & Crash-Lit":

Thomas Carlyle, the Victorian historian, christened economics the "dismal science". In Eat The Rich, P.J.O’Rourke described economics as "an entire scientific discipline of not knowing what you’re talking about." One can only quibble with the word "scientific".
