What if the most dangerous economic problems aren't about money at all, but about something far more human? Consider this: nearly half of Republicans would feel genuinely unhappy if their child married a Democrat. In 1960, that number was just 5%. We've reached a point where political identity trumps family bonds, where tribal loyalty overrides rational discourse, and where economic debates have devolved into warfare by other means. This isn't just about politics-it's about how we've lost the ability to talk to each other about the issues that matter most. Immigration, trade, inequality, automation, climate change. These challenges demand nuanced solutions, yet our conversations have shrunk to tweet-length accusations. Meanwhile, economists-who should help navigate these waters-are trusted by only 25% of people, barely more than politicians and far less than weather forecasters. The discipline meant to illuminate our path forward has become part of the fog. What we need urgently is economics that acknowledges complexity, tests ideas against reality, and admits when ideology must yield to evidence.
