Randomly remembered this history of economic thought class I audited. There was mention of a book/paper about how the development of economic thought has closely followed and modelled itself on breakthroughs in physics. I guess like a serious scholarly treatment of physics envy.

I always liked these kind of interventions - ethically minded geeks are better when they weigh in on the subjects they're actually geeks about Digital Well-Being Guidelines for Parents During the COVID-19 Pandemic
