I showed readers that our ideas and our concept of reality are one in the same. The net effect of this being that no matter how ignorant, short-sighted or self-serving an individual's ideas about the world may be, those ideas will always appear to do an effective job at describing reality; thus fooling the individual into believing that their ideas represent the truth about the world we live in.In that book I briefly discussed the affect this has had on our beliefs regarding science, religion and economics. In this book I am going to focus solely on how the thought process has fooled many people, including professional economists, into believing very strongly in some economic ideas that are clearly not true.#EconomistsAreMorons\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John D.
