Common meaning:

The process of producing and selling goods.

Hidden meaning of the Equity religion: 

A system designed by Western capitalists to enslave the workers and make themselves rich.

Discussion:

The Equityists believe that everyone in the Western societies, except for the rich capitalists, are slaves. These capitalist oppressors designed the economic system in order to keep the workers in chains and make money.

Followers of Equity believe that capitalists created the modern economy for the sole purpose of making themselves rich. They have designed it to extract the maximum amount possible from the workers, while giving them barely enough to survive on. They exploit the enslaved workers and justify their horrible behavior by declaring the nefarious platitude that markets are free and anyone can participate. 

To fool people into believing the lie about how bad things are, the Equityists point to the fact that our economies are not perfect. They never mention that in the entire history of the human race, no system has ever been as fair and prosperous for such huge parts of the population. There have been many slave societies, but the Western economies are about as far away from this as you can get. 

The Western economies are not perfect, but we have never found any system that is better.
