Abstract

A new virus, known as 'Reality', has started to afflict Mainstream Economists, causing them to reject the 'as if' arguments they used to use to justify their models. There is no known cure for the virus, and complete avoidance of 'Reality' is the only effective strategy to prevent infection.
