there is one field called "economic history" that is as dense as theology.
Their job is to gatekeep the reception and accepted nomenclature of the papers economists churn with contents that social scientists wouldn't touch with a 12ft pole, and they instead write with the utmost confidence. They produce all the "schools" of economics we talk about here which mean nothing.
Blaming enlightenment to the failures of the last imperialism is the accepted speak today.
