Elinor Ostrom, writing about some foundational assumptions of #neoliberal #economics. (Applying the tragedy of the commons, prisoner's dilemma, etc. to macroeconomics)

But our politicians, education, and media corporations continue to listen to and perpetuate the bullshit of conservative think tanks and their so-called "experts", instead of actual economists.

Also, a previous post from @pluralistic comes to mind.
