Accusation Economics: The Collapse of Discourse in an Age of Empty Labels

In today's political climate, words that once carried the weight of moral clarity-racist, fascist, bigot, Nazi-are tossed around like confetti. But what happens when society's strongest accusations are used so frequently, so carelessly, that they lose all meaning?

In Accusation Economics, Thomas Smith delivers a hard-hitting, unflinching examination of how modern discourse has been hollowed out by what he calls the "moral inflation" of language. Drawing parallels to economic collapse, Smith argues that as moral terms are overissued, their value crashes-leaving a culture where false outrage drowns out real injustice, and public trust dissolves into silence and suspicion.

From the weaponization of identity politics to the rise of victimhood as social currency, this book confronts the media-driven outrage economy, the collapse of nuance, and the psychological toll of living in a society where the loudest voices are often the least truthful. With a mix of social commentary, political insight, and cultural critique, Accusation Economics is both a warning and a wake-up call.

Perfect for readers tired of walking on eggshells and ready to challenge the status quo, this book doesn't just ask the hard questions-it demands answers.
