My school friend was the son of the economic adviser to the UK government.
He was appalled at te economics course at Cambridge 'They are teaching
this stuff as fact, its not even theory - its rough rules of thumb that
sometimes fit particyular cases' .

His dad had taught him all he wanted to know,. He decided to become a
concert violinist instead.

A real economy is based on people exhanging goods and services without
government interfernce,

It isn't. It's more engineering with far far 'softer' components. And is
too complicated to model accurately

Actually, mostly it has. Accumulation of capital leads to the 
possibility of embarking on large projects, which can provide employment 
and benefit to all.

Right back to when shares in a company were shares in a ship fitted out 
to trade with far off places  owned  by merchants desirous of sharing 
risk, Cf Merchant of Venice etc.

Only neo-communists fail to see the beneficial side of capitalism
