You're taking it out of context. The whole point of that piece is to assert this:

"If we are to progress in our understanding of the historical dynamics of the wealth distribution and the structure of social classes, we must obviously take a pragmatic approach and avail ourselves of the methods of historians, sociologists, and political scientists as well as economists. "

In other words, economics is a valid science but research itself won't make the world better as you need to convince people outside your discipline that your ideas a right.

No that's exactly what I'm implying he's saying.

In that case, I think your approach could be different. You're trying to convince /r/be users that their approach should change, because they apparently hold outsiders in contempt and that won't change anything.

he covers 'muh scientific method', 'muh dun need no other dis'plin!', and even 'b-but in the US people listen to us! ;('

I don't think that tone is helpful and it sounds like you're holding economists in contempt. How do you expect us /r/be users to change our minds with that?
