I disagree with you. Having lived through the Saving and Loans, the 1980 recession and on and on we go. The structures of society benefit Corporations and Individuals, the Freerider mentality that policies and regulations should only benefit Corporations is short sighted. North America is reeling from Reaganomic ideology, there is so much 'trickle up' economics that Money is sitting idle and the utopian idea that Companies would invest the money has faltered. What a lot of people don't understand is some of the poorest countries in the World have the largest discrepancy of income. If Economics were measured to the medical field, it would have corpses laying around and constantly piling up. The 2008 bailouts are the cornerstone that Economic hasn't a clue what's going on, or how to build a solid system. The first book people should have to read for Economic degrees is Fooled by Randomness: The Hidden Role of Chance in Life and in the Markets. That way at least they would understand, that Economic theory has no relevance in reality.

It has tons of relevance in reality. It's not perfect it's a weird science. We can't test hypothesis in the lab, we can only go off real world data that has tons of variables like random chance. But have an idea of the general direction to go is better than walking blind.
