A couple of things: First, there was no need for the political rant… the answer to the above question is simple: people just read the headline, not the article. Second, economics isn’t “science” any more than any other “social science”, so the left being “pro-science” or “anti-science” doesn’t really apply. Economists are not seen as “agents of the enemy” by the left. That’s absurd. There are many economist across the left spectrum: from Stieglitz to Picketty and Kelton. Stop it. You can’t try to make a point about “sides” having an agenda and then write… this. It looks foolish.
