If I say "econ is bullshit", what I actually mean is that the idea that you can magically make an economy work by allowing the means of production to be owned by private individuals who compete to maximize profit inherently leads to the destruction of civilization due to unchecked greed.

Physics gave us lasers and microchips.
Biology gave us the chickenpox vaccine.
Econ gave us extreme inequality and a dying planet.
