>there's broad agreement on the main parts of it >This is not remotely true with respect to macroeconomics. Macroeconomists agree largely on most econ topics. Probably anything you'll find in undergrad (and most grad) macro textbooks the majority will agree on. As evidence, here's [1] a useful site with polls dating back a decade of ~100 of the world's leading economists. Even on these hard questions you'll find they tend to agree quite well. They agree even more on topics not as near the fringe as these questions. [1] https://www.igmchicago.org/igm-economic-experts-panel/ https://www.igmchicago.org/igm-economic-experts-panel/
