I took one economics class as an undergrad, and that was the most clueless professor I have ever had. His responses to my questions about the math were of the "that's how it's done" category. Decided then and there that economics classes were a waste of money/time. I don't think economists reverse the abcissa and ordinate on purpose. Their math skills are so poor that they think that is how you are supposed to do it. It might help explain why they are so consistently wrong. The right answer is in the data but they are consistently misprocessing it, thus giving a worse performance than random guessing. Saddest part is, those are the people advising the government what to do. I can't help thinking about the video posted here last year where that California Congressman said we could spend our way to wealth.
