Excellent discussion Brad. A bit long for the typical medium reader. You might consider serializing next time. The success of economics is not intellectual it is political power. And, your piece explains more about how it maintains the illusion of intellectual prowess (if you like closed minds). As for who gets into which program, it would not surprise me if, like so many Wall Street Firms, some schools use the psychological profiles of sociopathy the prisons use to denie parole. No social thinkers allowed unless they can code. Note: https://medium.com/@daneke/who-built-the-expressway-to-serfdom-are-economists-acutely-culpable-5b9b53063374
