> Economies don't serve anything.
Oh really? Considering that an economy is a system of consumption and distribution of goods and services, how exactly do you arrive at the conclusion that consuming and distributing goods and services don't serve anything?
> The economy is the way we measure productivity.
Wrong. The economy is a system of exchange and consumption of resources. Productivity is a secondary attribute and a side-effect, and one that is secondary to the whole reason of having an economy.
> People really must stop thinking of it like some kind of mysterious beast from another dimension that we must tame into subservience
I would refrain from judging other people on their ignorance if you show so little understanding of the subjects you're discussing.
