Econo-war!

Mankiw takes on Levitt. ['takes on' is a synonym for 'politely discusses' now? ed. I'm exciting my readership. They want you to punch it up. you don't have any readership. ed. Thus the punching!]

But who's right? Disagreeing with Mankiw is rarely a brilliant idea, but it there could easily be other solutions than the corporate-style environment he seems to be imagining.

5 year 'terms' with standardized student evaluations* and peer review of research would address the cesspit-of-departmental-politics and rise-of-the-heirarchy arguement.
