Have I ever told you why I became an economist? Because I refused to leave it to the experts. The more I understood the economists’ theories and mathematics the more I realized that the so-called experts in our great universities, on our TV screens, in the banks and finance ministries did not have a clue. The smartest among them created brilliant models that could only be solved mathematically if the reality of labour, money and debt described in this book was first removed from those models, rendering them irrelevant to market societies.
