Indeed it is, "vile" I mean. The reason why we were never taught those subjects is because if they did then we would be on equal footing with the social controllers and the bankers. They don't want that.

Don't beat yourself up about not knowing them specifically, the mere fact that you know you have been "had" is enough to carry your forward. Most don't.

I survived he public education system, and did not learn that long list of subjects you named. I've been struggling ever since to learn them. I've concluded economics is a vile, nasty thing - bereft of humanism. It seeks to justify profit at any expense to individuals or society. We've been had.
