The ‘Wretched Procurers of Sedition’

William Coleman ()

Chapter 2 in Economics and Its Enemies, 2002, pp 23-50 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The oldest and most enduring species of anti-economics is ‘Right’ anti-economics. This species of anti-economics sees the market as destructive of a desirable social order, identifies economists as the market’s advocate, and consequently judges them to accommodate, wittingly or unwittingly, the destruction of this desirable social order. To Right anti-economists, economists are the apostles of disorder; the ideologists of anarchy, ‘the wretched procurers of sedition.’1
