Economics bugs me, because it seems like something we all have to have faith in. I mean, I get paid, but it's "idea money" that goes into my bank account. Then I spend most of it as idea money, too, through my credit card or checking account. The majority of my money is never actual money, yet I believe it's worth something and that people will accept it in exchange for goods and services. But even if it WERE real money, it would still only be paper, so even real money is still idea money. Yet we all believe it's valuable.
This has often struck me as being very like god-belief. Thoughts, maybe from someone who knows about economics?
