when the economy isn't working for the benefit of the general population, then you have to remember that the economists also say that the economy isn't working.
Why? Because either:
1.The economists are saying that the economy is working, when it is working for the benefit of the general population.
or...
2.The economists are saying that the economy is working, when it isn't working for the benefit of the general population.
but then...
3.I can easily imagine other people who claim that the economy is working, when it it working for the benefit of the general population and are willing to make sense of the economy this way, are followed by the general population (that has happened in economic history, you can search it online...), no?
Clarifications
Just do me a favor and consider the following...
looking around you for cases where the majority of people spends more time and effort to do things than needed, either because...
the majority doesn't know something a minority knows (regardless of this being a secret of the minority or openly discussed by the minority, both are valid), or
a minority dictates the way a majority does things, and this way isn't the least time and effort one.
And what's the least time and effort way? It is common sense, and
common sense happens...in a funny way. Why? Because if the way that you made sense of the world around you wasn't funny for you, well
then it wouldn't be funny for you...and you would be only afraid or worse all the time...
But both the minority and the majority are trying to avoid being only afraid or worse all the time, as their senses work...in a funny way for them...regardless is they occasionally forget that.
