Please say after me – Sonnenschein-Mantel-Debreu
by Lars P. Syll

Cutting to the heart of neo-classical economics — DSGE modeling assuming a representative agent. The model is not representational of reality.

Of course, this is not a new criticism. But it is expressed in a simple to understand way for non-economists.

And so far, it has not been adequately addressed by NCE proponents, who claim to be getting useful information from their methodological approach 

Even though history shows they got it wrong, wrong, wrong. There is no way to rewrite that without appeal to revisionism.
