Wishful thinking

Economics and the Culture War
Some economists may prefer to concentrate on the current economic situation while standing apart from cultural questions, or to say that the current kerfuffle over "cancel culture" will recede when the economy improves. But this is to abdicate responsibility, and to choose the easy road under cover of their discipline's neutrality.
No, economics is no longer valid.  Generations of faking it has ruined the profession. Mathematicians are in charge until someone figures out a better solution.
