Economics has always been a political theosophy masquerading as a science. An intellectual justification for what are in the end, patently transparent underlying motives. NO surprise that austerity and fundamentalist Christianity go hand in hand either. Fabulous wealth for the new capitalist winner priesthood, extreme penance and austerity for the common folk who are still finding their way back to grace.
