Their "ambition" and "large egos" are in fact signs of clinical narcissism.
This blinds them to obvious facts including the fact of their own ignorance.

  And, as James Galbraith wrote in "How Economists Got It Wrong" article
that we talked about several months ago, modern economics ..."seems to
be mainly about itself." Add a winner-take-all economic structure
even among economists where one  becomes a op. ed columnist at the
New York Times, mix with the cult of celebrity, and you have the makings
of an intellectual, if not a clinical definition, of narcissism.
