What should influence government financial and fiscal policy if not economics?

Economists, not economics.

The current people who are the "top economists" in the world, are, generally, ill-fit to their jobs.

Their abilities to assess risk are horrible.

They are making the world a more dangerous place, not safer.

Economics is very complicated, much more complicated than most leading economists think.

I am talking about people heading the leading economic and financial institutions today.

They are dangerous because they are overly confident of their horrible "predictions".
