That's brilliant RDV. A cross-disciplinarian glimpse into some of the profound places where economic thinking might lead if it were run by actual bright people instead of dimbulb toadies tasked with composing ad hoc “theories” to support whatever policies the ultrarich prefer. The “science” of economics is perhaps dismal not because of the maths or anything inherent to the discipline, but because it is as practiced intellectually stunted and dishonest. Because it is indeed as practiced nothing like a science at all.
