Due to failures in education and economic literacy, the average person has little understanding of how the local economy functions or how it connects to the global system.
When economic hardship arrives, people naturally search for someone to blame in order to make sense of the chaos.
History shows this pattern clearly:
• During the Great Depression, political movements across Europe gained traction by blaming minority groups and foreign actors.
• In Weimar Germany, economic collapse and hyperinflation helped fuel the rise of extremist politics.
Economic ignorance combined with hardship is a dangerous mix.
