Economics, as everyone knows, isn't about making useful predictions or about having falsifiable hypotheses. Economics is the handmaiden of power. It's about finding powerful people and telling them that the wisest thing to do is what they wanted to do anyway.

In a more equal society, this wouldn't be restricted only to the powerful. More mundane people would also have economists sucking up to them. In a truly equal society - that is, in an anarchist society - everyone would have the same amount of flattery from economists. This includes economists themselves.

Did a stranger recently tell you that your sweater looks great just the way it is, or tell you that your paper is good when they haven't read it? They're practising anarchist economics. This is what dual power looks like. It makes the world just a little more pleasant.
