Considering how necessary economies are and how economists claim economists are unnecessary to run an economy, I wonder why economists even exist.
The first thing a rational economist would do is tell the government to fire all economists and stop accrediting economics degrees.
Biological processes are also 'necessary', and work just as well without biologists. Do you also wonder why Biologists exist?
Or more broadly, should we give up trying to understand processes and systems if they run without intervention?
While the methods may look ridiculous to us today, the microscope doesn't just spring into being spontaneously. There needs to be a field of inquiry and ignorance that the tool evolves from in order to answer questions.
The reality that economics in 2026 is a type of folk science lacking its microscope or telescope doesn't mean the inquiry is useless.
"Economics is bullshit, the end" is not useful at all.

Please elaborate.
