Because the economy is the only thing about us that matters. It is the only thing that distinguishes us from the animals we rule over. Everything we do is in it's service (or disservice). Everything you have is because of it, and everything that is denied to you is also because of it. We aren't just modern day slaves, but biologically enslaved to it. Nothing about this is modern. It has existed every since people decided to live together and create society. To escape slavery and become absolutely "free" you need to escape society.
