Ideological Persistence in Doctrinal Schools of Economic Thought
An exploration of how specific economic schools maintain relevance by insulating their core tenets from falsification, functioning as a system of inherited cognitive barriers.
This topic analyzes how 'the school' acts as the inherited identity, where members are conditioned to view market anomalies as 'exogenous noise' rather than flaws in the model. This is an LHS phenomenon where the 'Heir'—the junior academic—inherits the 'Liar'—the foundational fallacy of the doctrine.
LHS Lens Analysis
