And I claim it's trickery from the same perspective that the video claimed people didn't agree on ignorance. The hard-fought understanding takes effort and isn't available to everyone. You have to work for it and be trained by clever minds that have earned their way before you.

So the way economists understand economics versus how a lay-person sees it is somehow analogous to almost every economic decision people are forced to make. Unless you're working hard to spend every red cent well, you're susceptible to being duped.

If no one is working hard to solve the problem of the best pizza to buy, and instead everyone is competing on putting the cheapest yet most cheese like cheese substitute inside the sleekest box, no one is really benefiting from the markets choices. (well not no one, but we're not headed toward the best of all worlds, in my humble opinion).
