Economics is a failed science. On this, heterodox economists of all colors agree, entirely forgetting that Heterodoxy itself has never risen above the proto-scientific level.
Beginning with Adam Smith/Karl Marx, theoretical economics (= science) had been hijacked by political economists (= agenda pushers). Political economics has produced NOTHING of scientific value in the last 200+ years. Heterodoxy is a staunch defender of pluralism, which means practically the pluralism of false theories.
Until this day, in their research and communication, economists are not guided by the principles of Science but by the principles of Circus Maximus. As a consequence, in the econblogosphere the best stuff is in the spam folders, and what is tirelessly recycled is soft soap, blather, gossip, propaganda, disinformation, and proto-scientific garbage.
It is anybody’s guess to what extent the econblogosphere is corrupted. The problem, of course, is that spam folders are invisible to the general public. Private censorship is built into the blogging software and works without any traces.
Occasionally, there are exceptions. For those who appreciate the privilege of casting a glance into the Real-World Economics Review’s spam folder, here is a sample of posts the editors suppressed over the last four months.
- Macro for retarded economists
- Keynes’ intellectual nonexistence
- Robots, exploitation, and the reproducible economy
- Throw them out! Orthodox and heterodox economists are unfit for science
- A brief history of soapbox economics
- Why Heterodoxy is no real alternative to mainstream economics
- The profit theory is false since Adam Smith
- Heterodoxy and Pluralism, too, are proto-scientific garbage
- Note on Edward Fullbrook’s My evening with Joan Robinson and the Tractatus
- This is New Economic Thinking? Give me a break!
- Joan Robinson and the early death of Behavioral Economics
- Why does Heterodoxy not abolish the fake Nobel?
- The economics Cargo Cult Prize
- John Hicks, fake scientist
Needless to emphasize that the Real-World Economics Review represents not more than the tiny tip of the iceberg. The four main approaches ― Walrasianism, Keynesianism, Marxianism, and Austrianism ― are mutually contradictory, axiomatically false, and materially/ formally inconsistent. As a result, almost all of the econblogosphere consists of fake news, attention management, brown-nosing, wrestling exercises, buddy back-scratching, artificial applause, PR, slander, and cheer-leading.#1
The common denominator of Orthodoxy and Heterodoxy is scientific incompetence. The inconsequential political skirmishes have no deeper meaning and are only meant as a rebuttal of the presumption that economists are not even useful as useful idiots.
