Economists are fantasy based thinkers.

They do not tally in their "projections" of "growth the REAL costs of their over done ambitions.

First of all they don't add in the cost of robbing human happiness,they don't add in environmental damage,they don't factor in the real costs..because fiat money is not really wealth it is largely symbolic 'wealth'worth something because we BELIEVE it is worth something..That IS what "consumer confidence" means.

We as a country have been snookered by the snakes in suits.Painting rosy pictures we wanted to hear and believe as if it was truth.

"Capitalism has only existed for the last 200 years. It is a relatively recent phenomenon, which has now outlived its historical usefulness."

Capitalism and the pronoia...
John Perry Barlow defined pronoia as the suspicion the Universe is a conspiracy on your behalf. Here is how pronoia was exploited to create feudal systems.
http://cbs.nku.cn/info/en/37.htm

The Pronoia surrounding capitalism has been very costly,to US,and we STILL deny it is killing us to believe in rosy dreams.It has cost US alot more than we'd ever want to face,but not those ever so fucking blindly optimistic over-wealthy,manipulating,powerful,heartless con men still shitting on the social and psychological contract ,refusing to adhere to helping secure any basic human needs of us all.Fantasy based beliefs on issues that concern life or death,are dangerous to our collective survival,dangerous as any psychopath or fascist regime..Pronoia is not a good survival skill, to have in time of crisis no matter how good it 'feels' at the time to pretends it isn't happening. Neither is the just world theory of any use.Because fact is,reality is not just,fair,controllable,safe or even sane.
The real thing that could make it seem saner than it is, is to admit we need each other,de-atomize,form relationships, learn social skills,set about helping each other even in the face of scarcity,sharing,and cooperating and allowing no huckster or bully a place at the table,or a leadership role no matter how nice or impressive or aggressive he seems or how good a deal or how good a fantasy he claims to offer to make true for you,as a cost however,again.

1. They love the philosophy of manipulating numbers to construct

pie in the sky nonsense that they tell us we have no smarts to understand. Then they let our leaders know that to watch and implement regulation to protect consumers was a huge interference. They are suited up con artists.
