> global economy, backing up his arguments with data. That's his job. Your ascribing malice Only thinking about the economy while ignoring its societal by-effects is malicious by definition, unfortunately there's no need to "ascribe" anything. Time and again people tend to forget this. Related to this I highly recommend Karl Polanyi's "The Great Transformation" [1] which sort of addressed this phenomenon back in the 1940s: > On a broader theoretical level, the Great Transformation argues that markets can not solely be understood through economic theory. Rather, markets are embedded in social and political logics, which makes it necessary for economic analysts to take into account politics when trying to understand the economy.
