Sandwichman comments on the pre-election discussion: “The experts were not even wrong. They didn’t know what they were talking about.”
This presupposes that there exist experts who know how the market economy works. This is NOT the case.
“In order to tell the politicians and practitioners something about causes and best means, the economist needs the true theory or else he has not much more to offer than educated common sense or his personal opinion.”
(Stigum, 1991)
Economists do NOT have the true theory. Both Orthodoxy and Heterodoxy is provably false.#1 Economists are scientifically incompetent, their policy guidance has no sound theoretical foundations and is at best worthless.
It is NOT AT ALL a question of right-wing or left-wing. The representative economist does not know what he is talking about ― it is just proto-scientific garbage and personal opinion.
