Two things economists got wrong. The market does not have to produce profits and neither the private or the public sector has a legitimate claim to anything that exists on earth. But if economists have ever been so wrong that they would have won a gold medal had being wrong been an Olympic contest it is in the way they talk about money. Money is not a thing. It cannot be created out of assets. The idea of tying the currency to a physical asset only benefitted the one doing this. In fact one could take all of these mistakes economists have made and roll them all up in one gigantic bundle and call it our conventional understanding of money. In short, everything economists have told you is a lie and that is why they cannot even eliminate unemployment or inflation. An occupation that cannot solve problems ought not charge anyone for their services.
