Ann E. Davis is an Associate Professor of Economics.
Prof. Davis regularly teaches Environmental Economics and International Economics, as well as the Institute "Meanings of Property."
During the last two decades she has met with those who are labeled as leading scholars of our times but whom seem to be blending what they call the humanities and economics to determine what they believe to be the ultimate solution for what they percieve as the problems with or within the world today.
People like:
John Searle
John Searle who believes any "value judgment" is epistemically subjective which another way of saing there is no standard or universal vale.
Alan Ryan
Alan Ryan, who is an advocate of Modern liberals which generally believe that national prosperity requires government management of the macroeconomy in order to keep unemployment low, inflation in check and growth high. They also value institutions that defend against economic inequality.
Mary Poovey
Mary Poovey whose recent books include The Evolution of the Property Relation: Understanding Paradigms, Debates, and Prospects, Palgrave MacMillan, 2015, and Money as a Social Institution, Routledge, 2017.
She seems to also feel inclined to venture into the world of economics attempting to make sense of its description or explanation.
These scholars and achedemics may be willing proclaim they are out of their element or do not understand or even see a solution in all they share but may seek to blaim that lack of comprehension on the fact that economics have become defined by the language of mathamatics.
Mary Poovey makes [52:52] "three observations about models in general and about how our reliance on them constitute what counts as knowledge of my examples make clear models abstract from immediate experience and observed particulars in order to generate simplified manipulable simulations of actual conditions.

Externalities are a side effect or consequence of an industrial or commercial activity that affects other parties without this being reflected in the cost of the goods or services involved. But she is identifying and connecting the dots or side effects or consequences that do not exist and imagining a solution without taking into consideration the natural side effect or consequence of human nature. Clearly she is suffering from a delusion of the mass psychosis coming out of modern universities.
