Nah that is not even close to the worst aspect, the main issue is economics is literally not a science. It is not recognized as such, it doesn't use the scientific method and even the bare minimal amount of math and physics used is always pandered towards justifying capitalism.
Even if it was possible to take economics in a vacuum and ignore ideology somehow(maybe as an alien observer of humanity) it would still come to the conclusions that capitalism is extremely flawed and must be abolished.
Good luck finding those opinions in any "Economics 101" book though. Also Marx already denigrated vulgar economics 200 years ago.
Economists when they tell me they study the 'miserable science' I just tell them they're miserable.
