While that is true, it also applies to libertarian capitalists.
Most people don’t understand economics. Because economics isn’t that sexy to be honest.
And it doesn’t help that a lot of the popular economists that one encounters in the mainstream (like Krugman,.Friedman or Mankiw) absolutely and actively engage in disinformation (which they consider education) in the service of their own political biases.
I think Economics Explained is one of the better YouTube channel brining mostly unbiased economics to a mainstream audience.
