if you have a Politics or Economics degree, say shiboleth

Politics is about money. No theories or detentes. Just cash and mineral deposits.

Economics is a self-agrandising exercise for the oligarch. A stamp of approval
from the ivory tower. And they paid richly for it.
Economists don't come cheap.

For students of these subjects, you need to recite the mantras of your tutors
even though you know that they are bullshit.
In fact, you likely haven't realised the full damage such half-truths can do, because
all you can think of is a career on the Hill, or in the tower, or the City
making filthy lucre. Screw everybody else, right?
