Instead of "the economy" think "having food to eat," "not facing mass civil unrest," etc. The economy is more than corporate profits.

At the end of the day, those with their hands on the actual levers of change profit far too well from the system to want to change it. They have no motivation to do so, and a lot of motivation to not.

Because they know very little, thus, can't make sense of things. They are panicking.
