| > "Few economists doubt that Marx flunked economics" So you do not refute this statement? I using this source to reference the opinions of economists. This is what economists believe. The rest of the blog post makes no other references to what economists actually believe. I am merely using the source to explain to you, what the general opinion of economists is. (even though the author disagrees with the opinion of economists) The person in the blog post (Samuel Bowles) is literally a Marxian. So yes, I do know that a Marxian believes in Marxian economics. But I am using this source, because even a Marxian is willing to admit that basically all economists think that Marx was bunk. Even a supporter of Marxian economics is aware that his opinions are fringe, and that the rest of academia disagrees with him. Which is why I am using him as a source. Because even though he gives arguments in favor of Marx being relevant, he is willing to admit that all of his fellows in academia, disagree with him. > it looks like the best source you can muster for your claims is making substantively exactly the same argument I'm making The source that I am showing, is by a Marxian economist who admits that he is in the extreme minority position, and that everyone disagrees with him. This absolutely supports my point. Even a strong supporters of Marxian economics is saying that everyone disagrees with him, and that he is fringe. |
