So says the fool who, based on only a cursory glance at the evidence, took for granted the word of a raving, Trumpian Evangelical Christian to corroborate his lame claim that I tend to go after strawmen.

And still no apology from you. No admission that you didn't know what you were talking because you never read through my exchange with Gilson. Still no admission that you've established no pattern of misrepresentations in my work, beyond the point at issue about economics. And still no realization that your egregious resort to ad hominem looks desperate.

Do you understand the difference between ad hominem attacks and arguing in good faith?

You think anyone who criticizes economics is arguing in bad faith unless that person argues exclusively from within economics and doesn't stray beyond the explicit content of the models. Nuh-uh, "dude." Economics fits into a broader worldview, based on sociology and philosophy, just like everything else does.
