Economic Cruelty

The deliberate and systemic design of an economy, that enriches a tiny elite—billionaires jet-setting the globe—while forcing billions into poverty, desperation, and cutthroat competition for scraps.

It’s the violence of capitalism laid bare: for every yacht, there’s a street fight over coins for coffee.

Not an accident, but a feature of a world that thrives on inequality, exploitation, and the suffering of the marginalized.
While billionaires party at their beach mansions, Uber, and the gig economy’s economic cruelty, encourage and reward, delivery riders crashing into each other, for a $5 order.

Ecoscience (Economic)

An area of study within metascience that examines science through the lens of economics—how economic forces shape scientific practice, and how science functions as an economic agent. Ecoscience asks how money flows through science: who funds research, how funding shapes agendas, how economic incentives influence scientific behavior, how scientific knowledge generates economic value. It also examines science as an economic actor—how universities function as economic institutions, how research drives innovation and growth, how scientific labor markets operate, how intellectual property regimes shape knowledge production. Ecoscience reveals that science is not just a pursuit of truth but an economic activity, embedded in markets, driven by incentives, and producing economic value alongside knowledge.
Ecoscience (Economic) Example: "Her ecoscience analysis showed how the shift to grant-based funding transformed university research—not just what got studied, but how scientists thought about their work, their careers, and their relationships with knowledge."

History of Economic Thought

A lesson for undergraduate economics classes. Economists those died hundreds of years ago can still fuck your mind because of this lesson. Some of them claim that value can only be determined by demand and others begin to blend them by being foolish, because, according to them value can only be determined by supply or something fucking else.

I used to think that Karl Marx is a merit figure in history because he tried to solve the poverty problem but now i think he's fucking crazy. You will see his name in everywhere if you are am economics student. In Sociology, in macroeconomics, in microeconomics, in comparative world economy, in politics...

Hot Waitress Economic Index

Hot Waitress Economic Index (HWEI) is an unofficial and controversial economic indicator suggesting that when the economy tanks, suddenly all the servers at restaurants become ridiculously attractive because hot people who normally work better-paying jobs are forced to wait tables. The hotter your server, the more fucked the economy probably is.

The HWEI is one of the many weird indicators that people have used to make sense of the economy. Advertisements by the United States Marine Corps, sales of men's underwear, and even lipstick sales are just a few of them.

You can expect to see tougher marine recruitment ads on TV in a difficult economy because they meet recruitment goals quickly in down economies. They don't have to worry about scaring people away. Men's underwear sales will dip (that pair might last a little longer) and lipstick sales will go up because it's a relatively inexpensive personal luxury.
