Marxists are so ahead of their time that their work remains relevant after decades. Whereas liberal capitalists require a constant cycle of economists.

economists work and study under an entirely different system in which the fundamental principals people work with are not the same as others. this is like asking a fisherman to tell you how to hunt birds.

relevancy to the US is not necessarily critical but the idea is: study is hard without something to study

Literally the entire point of modern economists are to gaslight the working class into thinking the problem is that they aren’f following some arbitrary penny pinching scheme, and not the fact that they are being exploited

It’s not all hypotheticals. More than one economic system exists for economists to study.
