People are having an issue with him "not naming the issue" in the article, but for what it's worth, I understand why?
There is so so much in mainstream economics that "feels rooted in fact," aka, lies or more accurately, overly-relied-on-unprovable-theories, the work of trying to debunk them can make one forget which one you're talking about today.
- SantalBlush 4y agoTheories about the observable world aren't supposed to be provable, they're supposed to be falsifiable. You can't prove a theory based on empirical observation. Economic theories are tested--and often shown to be lacking--by statistical models; that's the entire point of the models. Economists test and falsify each other's work all the time. You basically couldn't be more wrong if you tried.
