The logic of the market fetishists (most economists) is so bizarre.

It is: the market is perfect, so even if there is something the market is not providing, or not achieving adequately, since the market mechanism is perfect, this service/product/idea/practice is actually unnecessary.

No evidence will convince most of them otherwise.

Hence why I and many others call economics a secular religion. This isn’t the only bit of the doctrine, but it might be the central dogma.
