While I always like to give people the benefit of the doubt, I myself became convinced that he must be a fantasist when he referred to something called Kuh-kneesian economics; any graduate of LSE must surely know that Kane-sian (or possibly Keensian) was the correct pronunciation.
Not very many years ago a contributor to a Radio 4 programme was described as a Senior Lecturer at the LSE. I have the utmost confidence that the BBC (especially Radio 4) will always tell me the truth.
He spoke, in an American accent, of Kuh-kneesian economics.
So perhaps, after all, we owe that first man an apology.
