You do realize that I don't care who else argues something in a particular way in another domain, as long as an argument is correct in another domain!
>The problem is that to show something completely wrong (a year or two ago, you'd probably have linked to Picketty?) is a good way to make a career.
Not really. To piss on your own field, is a good way to be considered a pariah, a conspiracy theorist, a nut job etc. Not many grants coming to the self-doubting economist, and policy advisor positions either.
>But to dismiss a field of research, you really need better support.
Like self-deprecating citations from practitioners in the field?
(Even if expecting that is illogical to begin with -- since economics is what puts food on their table --, you'd be surprised how many economists have written self-deprecating critiques about economics)
