This is where I think you are completely and utterly wrong -- at least as
regards some economists.
Hi Keith,
Your 'no's' below in response to my questions don't see to jive with you emphatic response to Ed above. I take your response to Ed to mean that you believe some economists' concepts are not ideologically based. If I am reading you correctly, then what are their concepts based on? (I checked Oxford re the noun ideology and the adverb ideologically)
Take care,
Brian
