Comment on Sandwichman on ‘Keynes "hadn't got round to it"’

You say: “... this post ... was ... about how unreliable are the "legacies" that aren't even about Keynes's own foibles.”
I reminded you that it is a matter of indifference how reliable or unreliable the stories about growth theory have been because it is entirely beside the point to honor Keynes's or Harrod's awkward, dilettantish, proto-scientific constructs with the title theory.
What makes one wonder is that one generation of economics students after another swallows this stuff without the slightest brain hiccup.
You say: “I guess in some respect, we would all be better off if there had never been a Keynes or a Marx or for that matter a Freud or a Darwin.”
Perhaps. But did it ever occur to you that economics as a whole would certainly be better off without you and others forever recycling manifest model garbage?
