I have four issues with economists.

I can barely keep up with them so they activate most of my myriad insecurities.
As social scientists, they have skills with which they can get lucrative jobs in the private sector related directly to their training. (No, I'm not at all bitter from the fact that I've got a gazillion and one pieces of useless information in my head--I can take on a room full of inebriated knuckleheads in a game of team trivia. "What is an oscillation overthruster?")
They, IMO, greatly under estimate the power of the human unconscious, culture, political ideology, and gendered identity.
Consequently, none of their charts, tables, or graphs look anything like this <<LINK>>.
