As a political economist, of course I agree with Jostein Hauge when he concludes:
'Economics is fundamentally political — it has never been & never will be, a value-free science. At its core, economics is shaped by ideologies, human morality, competing interests, social norms & political priorities. Pretending otherwise does not make economics more rigorous. It makes it more dangerous. Economics was born as political economy for a reason!'
