I'm no fan of Hexies but economics - at least as understood by neoliberals - is not real.

Economics gathers and interprets data like any other STEM field, don't know what else to tell you. The stuff I learned in my degree is very much real.

Economics treats metaphors as deep truths while treating simple facts as superficial. An example of this is in presentations of MP theory where the pie metaphor is emphasized while the actual structure of property rights and liabilities is ignored and obfuscated @science_memes
