Defining the purpose of this blog

This blog will study the phenomenon of 'economization' (economisering). Economization is:
1) the tendency to propose economical solutions to ethical, societal problems
2) the tendency to propose 'the economy' as the ultimate criterium or better: cause finalis (better eduaction because the economy needs it, efficiency in health care because the economy needs it).
3) The tendency to explain problems, events, development in economic terms (the war in irak is in the end about money and oil and not about democracy).
4) the tendency to speak of 'the economy' as if it is a living person, entity, substance, natural phenomenon. 'The economy grows'. The metaphor for the economy seems to become its identity. The economy has needs, needs offers, gives bonuses, can be healthy or sloppy or unpredictable (see the comparison with the weather). The economys is depersonified in the same fashion as History can be depersonified, but as Marx said people make their history. The same applies to the economy.

Note 1: communism and capitalism are both ideologies that both belong to the phenomenon of economization. I propose that Marx saw the inevitable development of capitalism going towards a point beyond the economization of all things.
Note 2: the delicate subtletities of economic science have been transformed in vulgar people-speak. The manager elite (politcal and in companies) uses a childlike simplifaication. It is this simplifiocation without qualification that is the main object of study here.
Note 3: Quite some articles are in Dutch.
