The Ongoing Collapse of Economics

``The Chief Economist of the World Bank says that much of macroeconomics has become a religion, whose "pseudoscience" is infecting all social disciplines (that's the Chief Economist of the World Bank). In a NYT article titled ‘How Did Economists Get It So Wrong?' Paul Krugman questions the very assumptions that underlie conventional macroeconomic theory. Willem Buiter, the Chief Economist of Citigroup, calls most modern macroeconomics "useless". Former Bank of England economist Charles Goodhart argues that economists need to start paying attention to money again. Olivier Blanchard, former Chief Economist of the IMF, calls the dominant strand of macroeconomic thinking "insular" and "imperialistic".  And on and on it goes, with the recurring theme that macroeconomic theory has become orthodoxy, not science.''
