Historical-Dialectical Economics

A method of economic analysis that studies economic systems as dynamic, contradictory totalities unfolding over time. It rejects neoclassical equilibrium models as static and ideological, instead focusing on how contradictions within capitalism—between use‑value and exchange‑value, between production and realization, between labor and capital—generate crises, booms, and long waves. It also examines the historical transformation of economic categories (money, commodity, wage) and the dialectical relationship between economic base and political/ideological superstructure. This is the core of Marxist political economy.

Historical-Dialectical Economics Example: “Historical‑dialectical economics showed that the 2008 crash wasn’t a ‘black swan’ but an inevitable result of capitalism’s contradictions: overaccumulation of capital, falling rates of profit, and financial speculation as a desperate attempt to keep returns high.”

World Economic Forum 

A club for the world's wealthy elites to jerk each other off and discuss new ways to increase their wealth and control of the masses under the veil of globalism, sustainability, and universal equality.

The World Economic Forum promotes sustainability and equality, yet its sponsors and contributors run the most wasteful and exploitative businesses to have ever existed.

economically religious 

'economically religious' is a descriptive term which refers to the belief system and mindset of a person (or group of people) who care much more about money, finances and the economy than absolutely anything else (including, but not limited to, their own health, other people's health and their local or global environments)

supporting background:

- people who are 'economically religious' promote their destructive and unfair totalitarian ideology based in authoritarian control and materialism

- sadly, to a moralist, and in truth, there appears to be a much greater percentage of the world's population who are 'economically religious' than those who are not 'economically religious', and, both groups seem incredibly strange to one another

- like many false deities and false doctrines, economies are not real things; they are merely concepts and ideas which are continually morphing and inevitably lead to compliance and control of large groups by authority figures

- financially poor people are not immune from becoming 'economically religious'; very few people on this planet are immune to this 'mind poison'

ex. (1) All bankers and most politicians are 'economically religious'.
ex. (2) The people who truly manipulate and run the economies of the world depend on the masses being 'economically religious'.
ex. (3) When the 'economically religious' movement hits a critical mass level, their hedonism will destroy planet Earth.
ex. (4) Glenn Jessome is one individual, living in the modern world, who is not 'economically religious'. This makes him 'seem' strange.
ex. (5) The elite within the 'economically religious' are behind all major wars and conflicts, hunger and unnecessary spread of preventable diseases.
ex. (6) Neither cave men nor the characters of Star Trek were 'economically religious', so it is possible that humanity can exist without this destructive materialistic totalitarian ideology, although most people are too 'economically indoctrinated' to comprehend this fact.
ex. (7) Since the advent of money as a means to facilitate trade, Diogenes of Sinope was one of the greatest people to push back against initiatives of the 'economically religious'. As the 'story' goes, apparently Jesus pushed back against the money changers in the temple by tipping over their trade tables and even whipped the money changers to get them out of the place of worship. In modern times only Iceland seems to have made some progress against the initiatives of debt-slavery by the elites of the 'economically religious'.

Economic Maguire 

When the person in charge of the country's economy does not have a clue of what they're doing and is unintentionally sabotaging the economy from within

I can't believe that he still thinks he's saving the country's economy by introducing that new ridiculous bill. What he's actually doing is going full economic Maguire to the country instead.

Economic Teabag 

Sticking it to a liberal organization by buying a competitor's product.

I hope GM is enjoying my economic teabag, because I only buy Lexus products.

economical of effort 

A clever way of calling someone, including yourself, "lazy".

1: Damn, man, you're so lazy!
2: I'm not lazy, I'm just economical of effort.

economic bubble 

A phenomenon in economics in which too much loose cash finds its way into an area of the market, e.g., stocks, housing, dot-com, etc., resulting in a buying frenzy that leads to wildly inflated prices. Economic activity in those areas affected is not sustainable in the long run, so large numbers of late investors eventually go bankrupt.

We were warned of an economic bubble, but bought high-priced shares anyway thinking we could unload them on some poor sap before the bubble burst. Boy, were we wrong!
