In This Economy?

A statement usually made after someone suggests something that the other party doesn’t particularly want to do, particularly involving anything to do with money whatsoever. Often used as a cost-effective way to not do something, though really it often applies to a stupid idea being rejected for this even more stupid reason.

Tanked the economy

Hey... Hey, guys...
Hym "Wouldn't it be funny if every time liberals got into office we tanked the economy and blamed it on them? Heh... We could probably be pretty subtle about it and just tank it every time we lose and then hold 'a good economy' hostage so we can maintain the status quo. LIKE WE DO WITH OUR RELIGION! It'd be, like, the same exact thing except for politics!"

Capital: A Critique of Political Economy

A book written by Karl Marx and published in 1867 that deals with the development of capitalism and its problems. It is generally highly admired for its foresight of how capitalism would eventually develop over time.

Note that Capital: A Critique of Political Economy is purely criticizing the status quo, predicting its development and pinpointing its problems, while the Manifesto of the Communist Party (or simply Communist Manifesto) offers possible solutions to these problems.
'Hey, I just read Capital: A Critique of Political Economy by Karl Marx. And I now believe that the only way to create a fair society is by overthrowing the bourgeoisie.'
