1/ According to Gandhi, “the idea that economics is a verifiable science is one of the greatest evils ever foisted on the world.”Economic “experts” whose expertise is in maintaining and perpetuating an unjust economic system are not our guides to a sustainable world.

2/ The heart is the best guide to everything, even economics. Visionary economics is guided by these questions: 1)Is everyone fed? 2)Are young people educated? 3)Do women as well as men have economic opportunity? 4)Can everyone thrive? The “experts” we need answer those questions

I agree. The economic systems we have, have been always imposed on us by the Europeans. The same people who led the mercantilism era are governing the capitalist epoch. We need a change but we must kill those theories first. They were built to serve them not the world.

As long as John Maynard Keynes and Von Hayek's theories are in vogue, we are doomed. The two dinosaurs of our economics must come down. If we don't bring them down, nothing will be possible. Unfortunately, many of our university professors condone and are doing nothing.

Economics is more ideology than social science. Economics is more akin to theology than chemistry.

Gandhi was a smart guy. The problem is economics is a big area and is partly verifiable science and partly opaque and just bad ethical philosophizing. It was most likely designed that way to get people talking past one another.

Science is the enemy of those with flawed notions... That said, any field of science can be corrupted by power & money... But Socialism flatly does not economize; fans of it will always hate economics, i.e. evidence
