Just about all economics taught in colleges and universities is fatally flawed. It's designed to put you on leash so that you remain dependent on the system. That ensures that your energies are channeled into benign ends that don't threaten the current power structure.

The system acts like a self-serving organism caring only about its own survival. When you go down one of the paths it's enticing you to take, accepting the various trinkets and scooby snacks it offers as genuine symbols of status and honor, you are becoming a part of it and ceasing to be yourself. Essentially you are entering into a pact with the devil and relinquishing ownership of your soul.
