economics is based on the idea that a fake resource (money) can be exchanged to real resources (food, tools, water, etc.) and that the people in charge of the money supply should never be questioned on why they keep giving themselves more money while their peasants have to work ever harder for less money. the absurdity of the system is that there is no scarcity of real tangible resources in the world. there is only an artificial scarcity of fake resources (money) created by elites hording it all. the entire system is kept afloat by the power of make believe.
