The economic approach to handling such technical details follows from a method, such as the scientistic application of fancy mathematics as though a social study were like physics. That approach whitewashes rather than highlights the moral issues that are bound to crop up in economics, thus shifting attention to the framing of certain limited problems (like whether to raise interest rates) and ignoring the elephants in the room (like how having a central bank already refutes the rationale for capitalism, and how capitalism captures democracy and becomes neo-feudalism).
