I hope you had the following conversation:

MOTHER: What is economics?
YOU: It's the dismal science.
MOTHER: Huh? Who called it that?
YOU: Thomas Carlyle
MOTHER: Oh right? When?
YOU: In his pamphlet ''Occasional Discourse On The Nigger Question'
MOTHER: Nigger!
YOU: Nigger!

Why, yes it is.
https://economicsfromthetopdown.com/2019/05/29/the-allure-of-marxism-and-why-its-a-mistake/

"Marx pinned the ills of capitalism on private property. I think this was a mistake. The real cause of most social ills, I believe, is not private property. It’s hierarchy. Why? Because hierarchy concentrates power. And concentrated power is the despot’s best friend."
"True, private property is intimately linked with hierarchy and power. But, as communist states demonstrated, we can have hierarchy without private property. This is Marx’s fatal error."
