I have nothing special for or against the mag, but I will point out that economists are famously known for disagreeing on huge things once you get beyond the law of supply and demand. Not every discipline of study has whole alternative schools of thought the way they do. Economists are closer to philosophists than most philosophists.
I really love economics! But I have no illusions at all that they serve up one and only one version of the truth like physicists. :D
> real, serious and long-standing economic changes
Ok, 100's of counterpoints: https://www.humanprogress.org/datasets/ (but check out the articles also, lots of great stuff on there.)
> starvation, war, and abundant death
Yeah, there's lots of that. Pre-panbdemic all the trends were in the right direction. This too shall pass.
Things aren't that abnormal in my area, and it's getting even better daily.
