Hilariously I am broke and homeless and one of my degrees is in Economics.
You only need to know one quote to summarize the mindset of nearly all Western Economists:
"In the long run, we are all dead anyway."
I remember choosing Iceland as my case study for a school report in 2010 about how various national economies responded to the 08 financial crash.
My professor was quite angry when I pointed out an actual successful real world example of an economy that just told all the banks to go fuck themselves and basically did pretty economically well.
That wasnt possible according to what he was teaching.
