Economics isn't a hard science by any means, so it's not like professors can't be wrong (looking at you Chicago school) but what economic principles are you aware of that you think she hasn't heard about? Because if it's econ 101 stuff, I'm pretty sure she's run into it before.

Again, not a big fan (though I doubt it's for the same reason you don't like her). Still dumb to call someone illiterate in a subject where they have the credentials to be called an expert.

As I said, people with credentials can certainly be wrong (Listen Liberal is a great book on the subject, I'd recommend it) but it doesn't work in reverse. Just because people with credentials can be wrong doesn't mean laypeople can walk around like experts.
