The left likes to harp on science. Economics is a science. A social science, granted, but a science it is. If we're going to pretend to be progressive, scientific, rational and all, why not include the laws of economics alongside the laws of physics?

Why not? Because the left already wants to sshhiittccaann economics as collateral damage on their quest to solving enviremental challenges. Why would they care about teaching the correct version of economics when they have displayed such a high disregard for it?

There are just as many left-leaning economists, who can prove their theories, as there are right-leaning economists who can prove their theories.


There is no such thing as 'the correct version' of economics.

There's no hope. You're dealing with people who think economics is a hard science (except when it disagrees with their preconceptions) and have only a grade 12 understanding of economics anyhow.

Actually, the science of economics includes resource management too. It would seem that maybe both the right and the left might not like what economics has to teach.

Economics is not a science, though I see how someone who wants to make fornication a crime would think it is.

Non sequitur and ad hominem in one sentence. If I believed that the earth was flat and that birds fly, would you then believe that birds can't fly because someone who believes that birds can fly also believes the earth is flat?

No, I would simply know that your think-box needs a tuneup.

Basic and necessary economics doesn't have to be any course.......................I could teach it in two minutes! You have two piles of money, one is income, the other is outgo. You make sure at all times the income is larger than the outgo. Voila - problem solved! :)

Top Economists: Iceland Did It Right
Reality never sets in in your world I guess.

When you don't have accurate "price discovery" you get what you have in the stock market these days - a completely false value status that is bound for collapse when the free cash value manipulation is done.

Fiat money is as fake as the news those types supporting it get printed to further their little scam.This is why the old systems of talley sticks and silver certificates went for over 5oo hundred years each without inflation, and were only replaced by war caused by the bankers who run this fake monetary system we have now, which allows them to slowly end up owning everything by lending us our own money, but not the interest they charge us for using our own money..,

"Economics" was invented after the creation of evil fiat currencies I bet.

BTW silver bullets and wooden stakes through the hearts killing vampires ( bankers) alludes to this in all the old vampire stories.
