I don't think that anybody should be trying to figure out how "The Economy" works. It's more arcane than the Apocalypse. All you need to know is that Satan is running it through his pawns, the Jews and Masons;
That doesn't satisfy. It only answers the question "who", while most people also want to know a bit about why, how, when, and so on.
Let's say I want to explain to my atheist father what's wrong with the present economic system. If I tell him that Satan is running it through the Jews and the Masons, he'll just think his son is a crank. If on the other hand I demonstrate a philosophical and historical grasp of the matter, he would take me seriously and probably concede several points. That would plant a seed I can tend.
The Economy itself really doesn't matter as it isn't the root of the problem, it is a chimera that bankers and politicians use to frighten the masses with. Personally, I don't believe that The Economy exists, I think that it's a diabolical temptation.
Can you expand on this?
