Economists have long been at odds. In the 18th century classical types sparred with mercantilists; the mid-20th pitted Keynesians against monetarists.

Donald Trump seems to have united the profession, however
Economists disagree about everything. Don’t they?
Their discipline is famous for its fissiparousness
