Is there a contradiction Here?

Darwinian econ. not only shares the name but is an economic theory BASED on Darwinian Evolution. It answers the problem of Neo-Classical Economics nicely by using the evolutionary process and explains why government planning such as the Stimulus Bill are actually a hinderance to market evolution. Throughout some discussions of evolutionary economics versus planned or regulated economies, the concept of Intelligent Design IS actually compared to regulation and government planning. The connection is not that odd to those who mull these issues. Which is why I didn't understand your apples and oranges comment. I didn't want to bring up the debate between ID and Evolution, I just wondered why left leaning politicians who claim to espouse Evolution eschew it when it comes to economics and revert to what more closely resembles Intelligent Design, the nemesis.
