I am not sure if O'Toole can be called anything but a polemicist. Referring to this author as an economist confuses O'Tooles polemical writings with academic empirical research. Besides, if you look at http://www.urbanfutures.org/otoole.html, you can see that O'Toole was trained in forest management and geology. The graduate work he supposedly undertook in economics in the 1970s doesn't make him an economist--not by training and certainly not by accomplishment. --Kim--~~
