They are a right-wing sensational tabloid, well known for distorting science. I doubt that Curry said things in exactly the way that they are reported in this article!
The LSE does not just deal with economics, but with the social sciences in general. Curry is not an economist, but an evolutionary psychologist.
Here is a link to an article by Curry, to give some idea of the sort of things that he does. It concerns an academic debate about evolutionary psychology, and so is not nearly as exciting or sensational as the Daily Mail's 'summary' of his views. (I will try and find out what they're actually quoting, if I can!)
