Lars P. Syll — Mainstream economics — a waste of time on a staggering scale

Summary:
Why models fail.As a philosophy professor, I taught logic and critical thinking as part of the introductory course. This involved a cursory study of methodology. Part of the course is about methods of correct reasoning and part about incorrect. The part about incorrect reasoning is about identifying arguments that sound great but are just wrong and showing why they are wrong. This part seems to have been overlook in teaching introductory economics and apparently some (many?) economists never get the message.Lars P.
