THE SUICIDE OF EXPERTISE (CONT’D): Trust the Experts. “Some Experts™ are worse than others, because they not only believe they know everything, but they work assiduously to destroy those who actually have good ideas about the way things work in the real world. They aren’t bad engineers; they are cult leaders who think they know everything. Such was the case with the economists who campaigned to destroy Javier Milei and prevent him from becoming President of Argentina. Milei was a dangerous crank, they said, and would destroy the already sputtering economy of Argentina. What the country needed wasn’t more capitalism, but more socialism.”

Economists endorsing socialism is like chemists endorsing Phlogiston.
