I don't know what the specific terms are, but there's like one group of economists who are math nerds at heart, and they go "whoa, that's weird, I wonder why," and five years later publish a five hundred page thesis that's dense as a brick and says, "yeah man this is fucking unsustainable and is only going to get worse, however it looks like if we weren't putting 99.99% of all resources on earth into sustaining the lives of six people, we'd probably do okay," and no one reads it.
But there's some other group, and when they talk about economics they'll have a great, engaging tone with easy to follow graphs based on easy to locate data, with catchy titles and everything they write is like "not only is the economy getting better all the time, but it's the best it's ever been, and everyone is doing tremendously well, our system has never failed and never will, and looking at these figures we actually need to give even more resources to those six guys."
I think the second group should be put into a burlap sack and drowned.
