Abstract
The oldest and most enduring species of anti-economics is ‘Right’ anti-economics. This species of anti-economics sees the market as destructive of a desirable social order, identifies economists as the market’s advocate, and consequently judges them to accommodate, wittingly or unwittingly, the destruction of this desirable social order. To Right anti-economists, economists are the apostles of disorder; the ideologists of anarchy, ‘the wretched procurers of sedition.’1
