You gave a link to a popsci book whose Wikipedia Criticism section is ... unforgiving and relentless.
You then double down on your True Scotsman fallacy, mae a sweeping unsupported claim about a nebulous group of people, and follow it up with another conjecture about another group in an attempt to appeal to authority.
So do better! Find me an economist who truly believes in EMH and is either not a neoclassical (that's about half of all economists) or makes some real-world economic decisions (like in a central bank) or has expressed his belief in support of EMH after 2008 crash.
I gave you two Nobel prize recipients who actually wrote famous articles explicitly outlining market inefficiencies.
Regarding Steve Keen, I don't have my copy handy, but I am sure it has plenty of additional citations. While it is written in accessible style, it is certainly not unsupported. (I personally think that every student of economics should read him, but it's up to each individual what they want to do with their free time.) Many post-keynesians I have read expressed similar dismay about EMH.
> Debunking Economics exposes what many non-economists may have suspected and a minority of economists have long known: that economic theory is not only unpalatable, but also plain wrong.
Plainly alludes to the fact that the book is not mainstream economic theory. People arguing for minority views of complex subjects find — rightly — that the burden of proof is on them, and not the other way around.
Related: it’s not in the least bit surprising to see the book make an appeal to common sense over “those experts”. Truly we live in the age of Trump and Farage.

We can do better than this.
