Yeah, we need to be careful about the dangers of “experts” whose conclusions match our general worldview.
I mean, if “trickle down economics” is bullshit (which it is), then we have to also entertain the notion that MMT might also be bullshit (even if it fits with our worldview). Or really, that the entire field of economics is bullshit (wasn’t there a recent story on boingboing about that?)
Of course, if it’s all bullshit, then we face a lot of challenges. But anyone who told you this would be easy was trying to sell you something.
