Many claim that Neoliberal economists are failed and most think they are the root cause of problems

Coz they walk the talk.

economists are not one single group. majority of them are not right wing. many development economists for example prefer a mix of statist and systemic solutions none of which could be classified as left or right.

In fact, a much larger percentage of hard science specialists are way more right wing than economists.

makes no sense. None of them have to face consequences for their fcukups. left/right doesn't matter.

[Raven_Rayes]

most right wingers are found in areas of science that require least amount of systemic thinking, like in biology and chemistry.

even programmers are mostly leftist.
