Definitely not by an economist. Statements like
> Economics is divided into many schools, in turn leaning neoclassical, heterodox or other
are a pretty big tipoff because
1: non "heterodox" economists do not care enough about heterodox economics to mention it as a "school."
2: "heterodox" economists almost certainly don't think that "more formal math, like mainstream economics" is a good recommendation for any field.
(I am an economist, don't agree with the article.)
- vezzy-fnord 11y agoI didn't refer to "heterodox" as a school, but rather a higher taxonomic rank. Nor did I ever make the case for formal math specifically. It is true I am not an economist.
- grayclhn 11y agoI just meant that an economist would have written differently in a lot of ways orthogonal to the point you were making. I didn't mean it as a value judgement (i.e. that an economist would have written it better), even though my post might have been read that way.
