In the US, particularly, the dearth of municipal debt monetization entrenches dependence on bond vigilantes, federal fiscal transfers, & local taxes, facilitating an ideological entrapment of a dogmatic policy framework (YIMBY/Abundance) that prioritizes elites over the general populace.

Conventional economists cause severe social harm, owing to an ontology, epistemology, and praxis that trivializes the real world through the unscientific ‘moral geometry’ of idealist social welfare functions.

A key act on the front stage of neoliberal theatre is to manufacture the illusionary perceivance of inherent governmental inefficiency, so as to rationalize the backstage salivation of maximizing corporate power in the determination of social, political, and economic outcomes.

There are plenty of economic fallacies, but one in particular that is persistently exploited to rationalize dogmatic policy, like the neoliberalism of #YIMBY, is the Marshallian cross.
