What economic misconceptions surrounding public discourse today?

Next year will mark the start of Donald Trump’s second presidency and also my last semester in college. In this semester i will take my last economics class, the proseminar, where i must choose a topic to do a research paper on. I have juggled with many ideas over the past year but I decided that i wanted to “debunk” (or attempt to) a myth that surrounds economics and will be present in Trump’s presidency. I wish to do this so that i could at least shed light with evidence and discourse on controversial and divisive subjects. If while reading this any idea comes to mind that I could base my research on I would really appreciate it.

Ps. I fell in love with economics when i learned about Hayek in high school. I read road to serfdom and had to stop midway when i decided that i was not understanding anything. I recently read Ludwig Von Mises’ Economic calculation in a socialist commonwealth and am currently reading Discrimination and Disparities by Thomas Sowell. Just wanted to give you guys an idea as to where i stand academically, not an undercover socialist haha.
