Did not John Kenneth Galbraith (an economist!) say that [some]
economists are in the business of providing the needed conclusions to
those in the position to pay for them?

I would extend that to all social sciences.  The only difference between
an economist and, say, a sociologist is that the latter provides his
conclusions to those who pay less than those who pay the former.
