To clarify for anyone who might be confused like saosebastiao about what I'm saying: the consensus saosebastiao is claiming exists is exactly what you would expect from economists who are trying to make money for themselves.
It's additionally worth noting that a) there is not a consensus, and b) consensus is not part of the scientific method.
- saosebastiao 10y agoThere is a consensus, and in social sciences like economics, consensus absolutely matters because universal truths do not exist. And no, the incentives of academic economists are not aligned with industry like is claimed. If that were true, the majority of academic economists would not be Keynesian welfare-state supporting democrats like they currently are in the US.
