economical

a classy girl who has a low tolerance on alcohol and gets drunk really fast.

That girl doesn't need a lot of alcohol to have a good time, she's quite an economical date.

Dude 1: "oh you get drunk off of one beer, you must be a cheap date"
Classy Girl: "No, I'm not cheap, I'm just economical."

Perpetual Economic Fear

The cycle of a society fearing and producing difficult economic conditions. This fear of future economic turmoil is due to current poor conditions. Thus the society stops functioning normally due to the fear and consequentially generates more fear and worse conditions.

The recession of 2008 deepened into a depression in 2009 due to perpetual economic fear.

Economic Theology

The practice of placing faith in an economic doctrine solely on the basis that it aligns with your political dogma. This holds especially true for economic doctrine that is refuted by empirical evidence to the contrary, or otherwise relies on intangible evidence as a basis for speculation.

1. As a popular economic theology, voodoo economics has shown otherwise, to permanently reduce GDP potential.

2. Though Libertarians embraced austerity as a means to grow the economy, it turns out that austerity was nothing more than economic theology.
