I'd say the dogma is with the other side on this one. It's a bit like walking into a church in the 14th century and trying to persuade people god is a made up concept. No amount of persuasion will be convincing. Economics is similar since its powers derive from social conventions. A central banker doing something to cause your ruin is no different than a bishop getting you burned on the stake. Doesn't man that either economy or god exist, though.
