    Economists are the new feudal clergy, they only exist to justify the current ruling class.

    The wealthy are wealthy because God / The Market is rewarding their value.

    The poor are poor because God / The Market is punishing their laziness.

    Economists treat the modern economy the same way Abrahamics treat God - as an unpredictable, fickle monster that you can’t ask anything of.

    You can’t blame God / The Market when it punishes you, you can’t directly control it or tame it, but you can offer it incentives at most and be grateful for scraps.

    God / The Market doesn’t exist to serve Man. Man exists to serve God / The Market.
