Have a look at Brad DeLong's blog post from 2007 attempting to take David Ruccio and Jack Amariglio to task over the definition of postmodernism and its legacy. Did he even read their book Postmodern Moments in Modern Economics before attempting to teach them the meaning of the term 'postmodern'?
The amusing part is Amariglio's response. I have not seen such an erudite and proper public spanking in some time. It reminds me of Jim Cramer's recent treatment on the Daily Show. DeLong had nothing to say in response, because it is evident that he has only the most cursory exposure to the ideas he is attempting to discuss.
