"Geez" is the right response because Economics is mostly a mind manipulating religion and very little in the way of a science. "Price" is a whimsical number created out of thin air by "negotiating" human beings. It is not an objective measure of any physical, scientific quantity. Just tell all those people on Madison Avenue that the "Economy" is about "rational "consumers bargaining a "fair" price for pet rocks. They should get a laugh out of that one.
You dodged the question. Should we outlaw economists? And prices too? What will you replace them with?
