Eh, it's difficult to blame economists, or any other type of scientist here. They all deal with improbability and uncertainty.
It's the politicians and voting public that are the problem.
It's easy to get massive numbers of people to vote for you by giving out is completely wrong as long as you're extremely confident in your presentation of it. It's easy for these political winners to drive the economic systems to collapse while increasing authoritarianism by said false confidence. People want to vote uncertainty away, authoritarianism is one way of doing that.
