Economics filled the void in society vacated by religion after the Enlightenment.
A mechanism of control, conjured by the ruling class, imposed indiscriminately upon the masses, protected from scrutiny, and justified by arbitrary, curated rules.
Economics can be fixed if the rights of future generations are included in the cost of depleting natural resources.
Economics is a tool. All tools can become weapons when used in an incendiary way.
I’d like to live and participate in a society which has a robust and supportive economy, as opposed to an overbearing economy which treats society as an extractive resource.
