      First of all, being a literal economist doesn’t preclude him from being a literal idiot talking out his ass.

      For example, Milton Friedman is a Nobel price winning economist and has been so wrong so many times that he’s probably caused more deaths and economic destruction than most wars.

      Ironically, dividing all schools of thought with regards of one of the most hotly debated subjects in the history of humanity into only orthodoxy and fringe is the kind of thing that would be the fringe of the fringe within RELIGION, let alone any academic subject.

        Sorry communism isn’t taken seriously by serious economists. I know that hurts.

          Why would that hurt when I’m not a communist? Or even if I had been?

          I don’t know who you’re trying to impress with your continuously failing powers of observation, but it’s not working. If I was you, I’d stop while I was only a few miles behind.
