What is the Essential-Nature of the "thing" which is called "The-Economy"? What are its component parts/aspects? Where is "The Economy" to be found? What can we-do; about what "The-Economy" does-to-us? What does talking-about "The-Economy" as a "Separate-Objective-Reality" do-to-us? Is "The-Economy" Essentially a "Reflexive-Reality" echoing-our-own: "Trusts", "Hopes", "Expectations", Fears and Terrors?

How much "The-Economy" is just the echoes of our Collusive-Games-of-Mutual-Self-Deceptions which we have not yet won.
