Take the following as truth: When you consider how large a role economics plays in our national debate--and how much of the public discussion of economics is dominated by cranks and poseurs--seeing a serious economist like Barro get offered what is still, by private sector standards, a fairly modest paycheck doesn't seem particularly out of line.
Then the following statement: "Barro was offered a fairly modest paycheck." is true, false, or inconclusive?
Answer: True
