  1. †

    The title is of course a play on the popularized version of the Shakespearean line ‘The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers’ in Henry VI (Part 2, Act 4, Scene 2). I am in no way advocating actual murders. Some of my friends are economists. Actually, many. It would suffice merely to replace the economists in their business school jobs with evolutionary psychologists.
