@sj_zero Heinlein's book "For Us The Living" really altered my view of economics. He was writing from a future perspective about the problems with 20th century economics, and he was right. He clearly explained what causes inflation, for example.
I think economists are people paid to lie to the public on behalf of bankers. The fact there are multiple schools of economics that give exactly opposite remedies proves that economics is still in the blood letting and leeches stage.
