I presume Keynesian economists if you are working with fiat. Have you read The Mandibles?

🤔 well Keynesian is a macroeconomic theory around government intervention. As this is not macro-government work that wouldn't really be applicable. What I do is mostly statistics, long term modeling, and strategic narrative development.

I am familiar with the outline of The Mandibles, but have little interest in reading it because it seems like a downer and is pretty irrelevant to my work or my interests.

I get the impression that everyone on Nostr thinks of Econ 101 theory discussions in undergrad when I mention my work. I don't let it get my goat so much anymore, but the vast majority of economists are doing econometric forecasting not waxing poetic about unquantified theory 🤷‍♀️

Sure, but if unquantified or quantified theory is the map, and econometrics forecasting is the GPS, then I think the question is still relevant. I am curious what kind of map you are working with. In the mandibles, the know it all economist was certain his map was correct, and was the one who got hurt the most, while the kid who knew nothing was quick to see truth as he had no prior map. Of course this is just a novel, but indoctrination is real.

Maybe we could rant on about this some other time. I am curious how they overlap (Venn diagram). For example, I look into the nuance takes between Michael Saylor and Saifedean Ammous. Saifedean also wrote The Fiat Standard. Lyn Alden is also popular here. My point is that they all use models. We know that fiat schools will teach you from a Keynesian perspective. They get indoctrinated like the economist in the mandibles.

Look you clearly have your opinions about my profession. I'm not super interested in discussing them when I'm not getting paid. I would say most of my education and professional experience would be closer in line with Chicago or Austrian schools. I do think a lot of Econ 101 in undergrad will be Keynesian, to my earlier point.
