Saying Marx and Engels don't understand basic economics is like saying Banach and Tarski don't understand basic mathematics.

Saying Marx and Engels don’t understand basic economics is like saying Darmok and Jalad don't know how to overcome their unfamiliarity to defeat a common enemy.
Saying Marx and Engles don't understand basic economics is like saying Mao didn't understand Chinese
just to be clear I agree. it wasn't a knock I was just trying to explain why I shared the link
"I dont understand history and think 'government' is literally just a tool to punish people I don't like" by Every Chud Ever
True, but that's not all it is, which is what they miss
Don't conservatives have a shit understanding of economics if they're espousing trickle down mumbo jumbo (which most of them do)?
Yeah the chuds who spout this BS are typically business administration majors who took Macro 101 and maybe 1 or 2 elective econ courses and think they know more than like, most professional economists.
(Of course capitalist economists are hugely problematic but by and large they don't buy the Austrian / libertarian nonsense. Usually some flavor of Keynesian. Of course, thanks to the Koch brothers and others there are plenty of econ profs who teach basic econ courses at middling colleges who are libertarian nuts).
The best response to the "basic economics" shit from chuds is just to point out that, broadly speaking, the poorest states in the US are red states.
Is there a term used academically for the meta-study of economics, as opposed to the narrow study of singular economic systems
I don't understand economics and I want the government to give me free ENDLESS WAR, IMPERIALISIM, AND CORPORATE BAILOUTS
This stance is more intellectual than the entire bodies of work of William F Buckley and Jordan Peterson and Ayn Rand combined.
Hope Im not damning with faint praise, lol.
The intellectual value of William F Buckley, Jordan Peterson and Ayn Rand combined is less than zero
