Assuming that even criminals believe in what they preach, one can find a less moralistic explanation. A profession lives by thyose it recruits into its rannks from undergraduates. What about economics as now taught would attract radical students to join the profession? If those attracted to it are overwhelmingly conservative, it doesn't take any particular direct pressure on economists to elicit conservative results.
