Excellent comment.
Many people associate 'economist' with politicized talking heads arguing about ideological issues, but that is a tiny fraction of the profession, just like the most politicized tech CEOs are the tiny fraction of the tech community that gets the most outside attention.

Good point. I equate economists generally with ideologues on TV but that's probably as well as founded as thinking software developers are out of shape nerds in Hawaii shirts.
