You should lose your history degree for saying something this stupid about marxist analysis

Andrew Ferguson @epikt.bsky.social · 1d

somehow ends up lauding neoliberalism while saying marxist analysis (=“extreme left-wing scholars”) has “little to offer” academic study of econ, business, or public policy; the nearest comparison being to hiring creationists in bio depts or flat earthers in astronomy
newrepublic.com/article/2013...

Still, I happen to know of no Marxist professors in the University of Virginia department of economics. Like most such departments it's overwhelmingly populated by those who embrace econometric analysis and model-building in the neoclassical tradition. I know of no Marxists in either of the two business schools either. I know of none in the public policy school.

They would be glad to explain to anyone who would listen that the Great Depression was deepened, if not caused, by high tariffs that stifled the abilities of various countries to leverage their advantages and let goods, labor, capital, and ideas flow freely. In the nineteenth century people called that position liberalism. We more recently call it neoliberalism.

If the university signs this compact, would it have to hire a slew of extreme left-wing scholars to “balance” out those four influential units of the university? I would hope not. Marxist theory has little to offer those fields of knowledge (fighting words for some, I know, but it’s true).

But maybe someday the biology department would have to hire a Biblical creationist to “balance” out all the real scientists. Or the astronomy department would have to better represent the voices of the millions of Americans who believe the Earth is flat and no human has ever walked on the moon. Don’t laugh. Not so long ago no one took anti-vaccination cranks seriously. Now look at us.
