I don't wonder about the sincerity of most economists
I do wonder if there are selection pressures to becoming an economist that prevent a diversity of viewpoints on certain issues
sometimes those neatly line up with the bourgeoisie capitalists (who just coincidentally disproportionately have their names on university building and have levers on which university departments get generous funding)
Would you like a socialist society? Do you want a welfare state? I don't. Why shouldn't some people be able to afford luxuries like names on buildings?
