I’m not very knowledgeable on economics but as someone passionate about politics, I do have some interest in it as they’re tightly linked. I would love to listen to economist communicators who explain things to a non-economist audience.
In contrast to those who tow the standard capitalist line, I have only come across Cahal Moran (AKA Unlearning Economics) and Richard D. Wolff who both seem to promote statist market socialism. There’s also Gary Chartier who promotes mutualist market anarchism, but he doesn’t communicate nearly as often or as effectively as the previous two so I’d hardly count him.
Marxist-Leninists surely have their own economists in their “actually existing socialist” countries and even ancaps have the Austrian school of economics. Where are the social anarchist economists? If there aren’t any, why?
I’m aware there are critiques of economics as a field but how could we hope to transition to either a gift economy or decentrally planned economy without any experts to make a case for it or to serve in an advisory capacity if the time to transition ever comes?
This is the best answer. She used real-world examples (“natural experiments” in economist speak) to disprove the tragedy of the commons.
