I would actually claim that technologists are more important than historians but in general agree that economist does not understand what is going on.

- coliveira 9y agoModern economy theory is laughable when looked from a historical perspective. All modern economic theories look at society as in stable equilibrium, since they believe that prices tend to equilibrium by nature. Of course you just need to look at history to verify that such equilibrium is nothing more than momentary, the big economic changes really happening as the result of unexpected disruption, like world wars, "unpredictable" banking collapses, etc.
- ThomPete 9y agoYeah but you can't ask a historian why this is happening and thus you can't ask them what to do about it moving forward. A technologist on the other hand is able to advice on why it's happening and help outline potential solutions. But it's details in general I agree that Economists are the least interesting people to ask.
