http://dailycaller.com/2012/08/20/more-than-500-economists-5-nobel-laureates-back-romneys-economic-strategy/"More than 500 economists including five Nobel laureates have endorsed Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romneys economic plan as the right choice for jobs creation and economic growth.
The pro-Romney group Economists for Romney announced Monday that its statement of support for the former Massachusetts governors economic plan now has 526 signatories, up from 400 a week ago.
We enthusiastically endorse Governor Mitt Romneys economic plan to create jobs and restore economic growth while returning America to its tradition of economic freedom, Economists for Romneys statement of support reads, proclaiming Romneys plan as based on proven principles to restrain the federal government and expand opportunities in the private sector.
The 526 economists including Nobel laureates Gary Becker, Robert Lucas, Robert Mundell, Edward Prescott, and Myron Scholes point to six facets of Romneys economic approach that they see as beneficial to future economic success."
Does anyone have any info on these people, both the ones listed and any others that might be on the list?

I guess under Romney, we'll all get the Chilean treatment.

Herman Cain alluded to this over and over again during the primaries.
