I think Kuhn exaggerates the incommensurability between theories or paradigms, but the larger point is valid, which is that worldviews often aren't compatible at the nonrational, phenomenological level. They're tied into different experiences, histories, and leaps of faith in sacred totems and mantras. The First World isn't immune to that nonrational side of our civilizational worldview, and regardless of their superficial rigor, economists have contributed to that hubris that's brought on the ecological crisis. I understand that some economists might have warned about that danger, but overall economists have been preoccupied with celebrating the power of free markets. That preoccupation was ideological, not strictly scientific.
