什么是诚实经济学?经济学作为一门科学,可以不诚实吗?任何科学其实质都是解释社会经济过程的客观规律,从这个意义上说,它是诚实的。问题是,大多数时候我们面对的不是科学,而是政治情感和教条主义包裹下的意识形态。有时候,它是政治斗争和社会操纵的一种工具,用以服务一些人的私利。有时候(近期更多是这样),它是把人忽悠进非理性行为的工具。因此,具有讽刺意味的是,它成了自身本质的反面存在。 What is Honest Economics? Can economics be dishonest as a science? Any science whose essence is an objective law for explaining socio-economic processes is in this sense honest. The problem is that most of the time we face not science, but the ideology of political emotions and dogmatism. Sometimes it is a tool of political struggle and social manipulation to serve the self-interest of some. Sometimes (and more often) it is a tool to fool people into irrational behavior. Therefore, it is ironic that it has become the reverse of its essence.
