No, the false assumption this article makes is that the models are the problem. The problem is how policy makers are influenced and advised by any inaccurate model and inability to learn quickly from it.

My point was that you can't have it all. "Inclusive Economics" whatever that means is never going to be "good enough" so it's a very easy basis for an attack on "Economics".
