RE: Economics is a Very Dangerous Science
Good points. There is a funny bit of irony to this though. How do you control the influence of economists? Teach citizens how to critically analyze economists' arguments. How do we do this? Teach citizens more economics. Result? More people who think they know something about economics and use faux economics to bolster their arguments.
Where does it end?!?!
Ha! Very good argument...i agree, it's such a convoluted process. There is a big upsurge IMO in pseudo/faux economics, both of the state worshipping variant and the populist backlash. Neither is productive and both can be dangerous.
