Abstract
For years economics has been engaged in a bitter turf-war with its disciplinary rivals in marketing and management. Its war-cry has been its command of science and theory. The author argues that the exodus of students to the more pragmatic rival disciplines is more than a coincidence. Economic theory is moribund, and in comparison the 'real- world’ disciplines inevitably look attractive.
