It's less "money isn't real so economics isn't real" and more: "Economics is a bunch of bowtie wearing dipshit working backwards from conclusions they've already come in order to force the data to say what they want." But that's not as catchy. Alternatively you could say: "Economics is a bunch of made up bullshit for failed engineering students to study because those students think studying an real science like sociology would make them gay."
In the west in the last 50 years, yes, absolutely.
That said there is quite a bit of good stuff in it that's just mostly ignored. Even Keynes isn't entirely a lost cause. I mean, most people here are pretty cool on Cybersyn and it's earlier Soviet efforts, and those were built on some pretty standard economics.
Yeah Keynes figured capitalism was chaotic and would collapse in on itself, just where he departs from us is that he thought you could use bourgeois governments to intervene and stop the whole thing from crashing.

I wonder what we'll try next
War. It’s always war
