I was shocked to learn that from 2005 to 2013 a French Socialist ran the World Trade Organization. This was Pascal Lamy. He appears in this article: EU Steps Up to Fight Coronavirus Crisis by Daniel Michaels and Laurence Norman, WSJ, April 5, 2020 [1]. Lamy did study economics in college. It seems as though the economics profession is over-run by socialists. I suppose that makes sense since the same man who wrote the Communist Manifesto also wrote Das Kapital: Karl Marx.
