I took 1 Econ class ~25yrs ago & in the first month, while the prof was drawing some chart on the board, I raised my hand & asked “but isn’t this all just made up to support rich people staying in power?” And I wasn’t trying to be a jerk! I was a math major & all the Econ just seemed especially made up. It was a real question and the prof treated me like I was stupid and it was too late to drop so it was a very uncomfortable semester. Anyway I feel very vindicated by this
