@Noahpinion, have you read "Economics: The View From Below" by M. Fourcade? Would be curious to hear your take.

Nope, have not!

I think it's worth reading (and not terribly wrong). I share your frustration with lots of public bashings of economics, yet while Fourcade does criticise economists' “pretense of knowledge” (Hayek 1989), she acknowledges e.g. that the field is malleable...

...and has the "operational plasticity" to accommodate e.g. the views of Eugene Fama and Robert Shiller. "the core has become multiple and fragmented, but it can still legitimately claim to hold up through, rather than against, this fragmentation."
