The ‘Economy’ and economics are the most deeply brainwashed ideas. Here’s another example. The word ‘economics’ comes from the ancient Greek, meaning ‘management of a household’. Who does that? Overwhelmingly, women. How does modern economics recognise that work? Zero. Not at all. Not one cent in it, for women. What we call economics, and The Economy, was hijacked by men to do politics. All the caring jobs that keep society running get paid bugger-all. The jobs the word economics came from.
