Can confirm. My econ phd program had basically zero history. It was entirely technical. I became a better engineer than an economist, to be honest. I got better at being an economist after my phd program.
There aren't many programs that have any economic history, as far as I know. There's George Mason, Chicago, and some of the Ivies.

I kinda wonder what it would've been like to go to George Mason. That being said, I imagine that the technical skills I learned at my phd program are much better rewarded in the market, and thus was a safer choice.

They have all the normal mainstream stuff too, but there's safety in choosing a program that doesn't draw professional side-eyes.

yeah good point, even my preconceived notion that GMU only teaches unorthodox stuff is case in point
