I've arrived at a personal observation that what is "good for the economy" is often bad for you as an individual and what is good for you as an individual is "bad for the economy". Yes, I know actual economics is ridiculously complex and can not be simplified and distilled so easily, but as a rule of thumb, just watch how often this observation seems to be true.

Thats becasue 'economy' in its colloquial usage has been bastardized to mean 'return on capital'

Actual economics is easy; people trade information innately.

Ok sure an economist can wrap it in math with correct order of operations as it looks like this geometric object on paper. But that’s unnecessary obfuscation intended to empower them and traditional talking points.

It’s 1984 levels of double speak going on; without economists counting there would still be trade. Their work does not give rise to human agency.
