@freakazoid I'm frankly rather less interested in the "who's to blame" question than the (book-length) assertion that modern mainstream economic theory, at least to the extent that it's portrayed in major policy matters, is claimed to be largely baseless and very strongly serving interests of an empowered and wealthy minority. Much as various self-justification theologies of the past have been.

Politicians as economists are largely tools of this same cohort.
