    It means exactly this in the context of economics. What the people complaining are doing is taking issue that the jargon doesn’t mean what they think it should mean.

      We are complaining about the fact that the field of economics is a tool only of the rich. They exist to justify wealth and greed. You wrap it in jargon and chortle about it when you are allowed in the parlors of your betters. I’ve been there, I’ve seen it.

      Words matter and your choice of words sucks.

        That’s simply not true and suggests a lack of experience with the subject.

        They exist to justify wealth and greed.

        Again further substantiating this idea that you have zero experience.

        Words matter and your choice of words sucks.

        Right back at you as you are whining about concepts in a subject that you know you know nothing about because you never studied it.
