I should give that one a try. I've been catching up on ML stuff after a lifetime of being intentionally steered away from it by academia. I took a class that had me read some heterodox economists throughout history, Veblen and Marx included. The point was to show where different theories had "gone wrong," but I was like, "wait that kinda makes sense especially given recent events, maybe I should dig a little deeper and figure out why they're so discredited on a deeper level. No way they'd just handwave away this stuff, right?"

Welp, turns out there's a reason they only ever offer strawman representations of these figures. They want students to feel confident in dismissing things out of hand and never dig deeper. One of those, "the best lies contain a bit of truth" type deals.
