"Mainstream economics is in "disarray."<p>It ignores the reality of power, it neglects questions of equity, and its policy recommendations can be "little more than a license for plunder."<p>In other words, economics is not about social justice, it's about optimal allocation of resources, how markets set prices, and what makes economies grow or not, productivity and efficiency.<p>So economics haven't placed marxist clads struggles at it's center, therefore it is in "disarray"
