All of macroeconomics is really just politics though, so if you believe a particular political conception is more useful or valuable, of course you want economics to follow. It's a shame the author didn't cite more, but it also doesn't mean they're wrong.
The current set of economists are evolved Reagan-era republicans, which is certainly political, and one particular politic at that.
- AnimalMuppet 7y agoWell... it's true that macroeconomics is always influenced by politics. It's not true, though, that "all of macroeconomics is really just politics". There's a bit more to macroeconomics than just "here's my politics, therefore here's my economics".
