After Marx, mainstream economists are just like a doctors that would learn the medicine for 5 years then say “nope” and go back to leeches, mercury potions, marinated snakes, and putting children in the stove for 2 hail maries.
This. And also that economics in us educational institutions is just propaganda. I don’t think it’s stupid. I think it’s malicious. It’s meant to convince people that the third world and other poor people are poor out of some natural law, not predation by imperialists and institutions like the IMF.
To summarize: Capitalists corporations like Exxon and Raytheon get free lunches all the time. Milton Friedman can eat my ass.
It’s a social (“soft”) science, as in you don’t plug stuff into equations and formulas and get exact predictable answers. It’s not fake, but the whole “this line says it so it must be true” narrative is pure BS and literally no one, not even liberals, that genuinely study economics think like that.
Economics is fake. It’s not a real science. Source: I majored in economics at a decent uni. And this YouTube type economics is definitely shit.
