There's 0 real economists who hold anything close to these views. What a stupid take. Before you downvote, I ask that you find a single source that contradicts my claim. Since all liberal economics is like that, it should be easy, right?

Economists may not be like that, but politicians are, and they're the ones that run the economy.

Sure, but that's not what the post is about.

It seem to me like the intention was to say the economics practiced by liberals, not the beliefs of liberal economists. It's phrased ambiguously, but I prefer to interpret things generously.

you are correct and that is what all those economic theories boil down to tbh
