How Did You Deal With the Neglect of Senior Economists?

Milton Friedman, George Stigler and Ed Schultz were very positive about it. The fact that they were positive enabled me to handle the neglect or the submissive aspects of it reasonably well. It was a major oversight the economists were in dealing with it. I can't say I was always happy about it when I saw people I thought my work would be much better off getting more recognition but patience is a virtue.
