If this passes as economics at an elite university the west is doomed.

Keynesian economics was not supposed to be taught during the McCarthy era, and it didn't doom the West. We didn't understand economics very well before the 20th century, and it didn't doom the West. I seriously doubt that one class being taught at Harvard is going to doom the West.

It is not one class being taught that is the issue, but that an university like Harvard would consider a class like this to be economics.
