Classical economics ignores power in the world
Classical economics is only value-free on its surface. In actual fact it ignores power in the world. In actual fact it ignores that its outcomes ALWAYS hurt the lesser much more than they do the greater. Economics is not just the dismal science, it is the shameful fancy window dressing of the exercise of naked power by the rich and the owners against the poor and the workers. It is the condom which makes safe and obscure the ways we are screwed.
