Progressives Are Declaring War on Basic Economics

 Progressives deny basic economic principles and theory.

Progressives think markets produce the "Wrong" things.

Progressives think "Efficiency" is a dirty word.

If progressives want something, they don't care how much it costs or how wasteful it is.

If progressives deny economics, what criteria do they use for decision-making? They rely heavily on the vaguely defined concepts of diversity, equity, and inclusion.

In her book, Thinking Like an Economist: How Efficiency Replaced Equality in U.S. Public Policy, she claims that economists are the chief obstacles to achieving progressive policies.

Professor Berman is correct that the economic way of thinking has been a chief obstacle to progressive policies.
