I think you misread my comment. I'm saying that's how the left unfairly characterise capitalists / economists, which is particularly unfair in the case of economists.
- FrustratedMonky 2y agoYeah, I re-read it. Still missing it, are you saying the left un-fairly over-simplifies it. OR the Left portrays the right/economist as un-fairly over-simplifying?
- frereubu 2y agoI'm saying the left (not everyone by any means) unfairly oversimplifies the views of economists. Absolutely no-one who is taken even vaguely seriously in economics thinks that consumers are rational or that markets are 100% efficient.
- FrustratedMonky 2y agoGuess, I'm retorting, that is not a 'left' point of view. The 'right' also oversimplifies views of economics. I would argue, the 'right' is even more guilty of it, like promoting false economic concepts is their bread and butter, part of their platform. Though, I can agree, maybe it is, most people all around, only have a simplified view.
