Neoclassical Dogma

On Neoclassical (Economics) Dogma:

Modern economics purports to be scientific. It is this that lends its practitioners ears all over the world; from the media, from policymakers and from the general public. Yet, at its very heart we find concepts that, having been carried over almost directly from the Christian tradition, are inherently theological. And these concepts have, in a sense, become congealed into an unquestionable dogma.

Yet another example demonstrating that "modern" economics is not a science.  (Just like Marxism.)
