Economic Hitman

When he discovered the evils of communism and capitalism, he decided to destroy modern economics as he knew it. It wasn’t that he was a superhero necessarily, or even the bad guy, it was mere expedience to get the suffering over with that made him an economic hitman. No one would know his name, and that was just fine. He would be the blandest office geek ever with a big suitcase from the 1980’s which contained the finest computer available, and his secret weapon in the event the cyber police found him. It wasn’t a gun, it wasn’t his talent with viruses, it wasn’t his perfect poker face and ability to calmly lie to anyone. No. The secret weapon was powerful enough to knock out the grid for a hundred miles around; all he had to do was push a button, and chaos in the streets would allow him to disappear. He called his pulse device “electromagnus,” and all he had to do was plug it in to make it work. Yes. Modern debt, modern monetary “theory,” modern digitalism had enslaved the whole earth, and the office geek was going set it free.
