Debunking (Conventional) Economics

by Mark Dempsey

Unfortunately, conventional economics is bunk. To explain that statement, I've conducted a CSUS Renaissance (senior education) Zoom class recently that goes into some detail about why conventional economics gives intellectual respectability to some of the worst human impulses, and to discuss what realistic alternatives exist. 

Economics itself is a social science whose scope spans everything from psychology to mathematics, so it's pretty comprehensive, and is often the justification for public policies we currently enjoy.
