A History of Economic Thought (.. Book 9)

What began as a science during the Enlightenment has become an academic study built on the unstable foundations of Adam Smith and Maynard Keynes.
Since the eighteenth century, it has become an intellectual complexity concerned with the triviality of balancing supply and demand or increasing aggregate demand through State expenditure. In consequence even if the entire world qualified in academic economics with the highest distinction, mankind would continue to be dogged by poverty, war and disease.
