Reading this, I remembered how many times my Econ profs in college would tell us “… and that’s why economists are never invited to parties!” Usually on the back of explaining some kind of unpopular position an economist would take due to its purely reasonable basis. But I think the reason nobody likes economists isn’t because they have unpopular opinions. It’s because, despite being wrong almost constantly, they have no humility at all. I’ve never read anything by an economist that didn’t absolutely drip with ego and posturing and this piece is not different at all.
