> Financial Times have a very strong bias towards liberal economic policy

Economics itself has a strong bias towards liberal economic policy. Would you call "Nature" biased for not giving creationism a platform?

Left is wrong just like creationism and liberal economic policy is right just like nature.

Now i get it.

"Left" doesn't imply illiberal economic policy at all, though one might get that impression when dealing with all these vocal armchair marxists that haven't actually read any economics.

If you're equating modern economic policy with hard science you're making a pretty big stretch.

I'm not. Economics can never be a hard science. Neither can sociology, or psychology, or even medicine.

Shall we dismiss these fields altogether on those grounds? That would be foolish.
