The Politics of Research

Off the bat, I disliked the idea of those economists disregarding anyone who opposes to their ideologies simply because everything someone receives; it being negative or not is constructive, and is there as a guideline to improve. The idea that knowledge isn’t “everlasting” can be challenged. I feel that knowledge can be eternal because of the simple fact that once one has knowledge, there is a easier understanding in a certain subject. Of course they did bring up an interesting point that knowledge can in fact change, when dealing with scientific knowledge due to the evolution of things. The concept that with research and teaching, one can develop new knowledge demonstrates a necessity for us to become disciplined in general. Therefore, when we become disciplined, we will be able to take in knowledge and create anew with the help of research.
