I've studied economics as a discipline too much not to acknowledge its institutional biases. The statement "economics isn't real bro" is a joke, but it's a joke about how bad the state of the academy is in promoting neoliberal economics.

If that weren't true it wouldn't be powerful enough to turn Argentina into a fourth world nation. Milei is a product of these academic institutions.

If you actually went to or taught at a university that eludes these biases like the Braudel fans at Binghampton, you wouldn't be scolding me for making a joke about how stupid most economics degrees render people.

This is what you claim to have done: "a joke about how bad the state of the academy is in promoting neoliberal economics"

And this is what you actually said: "Economics is not real bro"

I shouldn't need to spell it out any further than that.

Economics departments are not real bro
