People who have dedicated multiple years of their lives to this topic, at a bare minimum. Technologists are not knowledgeable in economics, medicine, or the other technical fields they routinely embarrass themselves in. Narcissistic overconfidence can look like expertise to an outsider but it isn't. Being high IQ is a necessary but not sufficient condition. If you want a center-right take on economics, go to someone like Tyler Cowen. There are also plenty of economists who argue in favor of onshoring some manufacturing under a security/defense as public good argument.
