At the end of the day, economics is still a social science, and tech cannot abide the social sciences. If Meta didn’t hire anyone after they facilitated genocide, if Twitter never bothered to hire any of the people who wrote books about the problems Twitter would face years before they faced them, if Google never bothered to hire anyone after their seven hundredth social network failed, they sure weren’t going to hire anyone with any real expertise when they decided to build an economy - after all, they’re very smart, and how hard could it be?
