In retrospect, there are many more reasons I could cite, but here are several major reasons that I cannot in good conscience or in sincerity complete a degree in a field that I have no interest in, seek no job for, and am morally opposed to.
Economics will always trump politics. Politicians and technocrats think they can fix things and control the economy, but the economy will always have the last laugh. I may severely disagree with nearly everything J.M Keynes said, but he was dead on when he said: “Practical men, who believe themselves to be quite exempt from any intellectual influences, are usually the slaves of some defunct economist.”
