Re: This is what's wrong with neoliberalism (4.00 / 3)

Apparently reading comprehension is not required in the vast majority of economics programs.

Nor is reading. You're just suppose to know how to quote a small selection of decontextualised soundbites from major works. Like "the invisible hand of the market" or "creative destruction".

There's so much wrong mathematically with general equilibrium theory the way it's used by economists I don't even know where to start. And, of course, if you take the mathematics away from the neoclassicists they can't hold a candle to the pre-marginalists of 150+ years ago. Which is sad.
