    Economists should take an English class then. Why use a word to describe a thing that doesn’t mean what the word means?

        We are complaining about the fact that the field of economics is a tool only of the rich. They exist to justify wealth and greed. You wrap it in jargon and chortle about it when you are allowed in the parlors of your betters. I’ve been there, I’ve seen it.

        Words matter and your choice of words sucks.
