I don't pretend to speak for the foremost economist in the world, but my two cents on the whole notion of "constructs" is that the idea tries to take obvious truths and show them to be simply ideas manufactured by the beliefs of a certain society. As such, there is no such thing as absolute truth. Black people have biological differences from White people, from Southeast Asians, etc. That is a fact.

To deny such an obvious fact opens a whole Pandora's Box of faulty philosophical reasoning. The outcome of such constructs is that societal standards are mere constructs, not based upon established truths. As such, a true adherent is forced to come to the Reductio ad absurdum conclusion that Hitler's mass killing of Jews, Gypsies and other so-called "undesirables" was acceptable because "Who are we to judge" their society in the light of our biased social constructs?
