Since I am very new to wikipedia editing and such, I assume - though without complete certainty - that this is where I can respond to the reversion of my edit. Following are definitions of an economist:

"a person who studies or writes about economics" - Oxford Dictionary

"a person who studies or has a special knowledge of economics" - Cambridge Dictionary

"a specialist in economics" - Merriam Webster

"An economist is a practitioner in the social science discipline of economics." - Wikipedia

Since Carson not only has written multiple books on economics, but also arguably founded a (minor) school of economics - namely the economics of left-wing market anarchism - I think that it is more than fair to consider him an economist. I have read some of his works and, although he is not peer-reviewed, it is well-researced, innovative and of decent quality. Calling him a "self-proclaimed economist" is in my view much more biased than simply calling him an economist.
