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

The obsession w/ economic growth or GDP... the obsession w/ stock market ... is destroying the nation. As the FED prints trillions for white collar gangsters, instead of helicopter money for the American People.

My macroeconomics prof always told us it all comes down to "guns and butter." I guess which one is emphasized depends on the political party in power.

Do you know any conservatives who ask these questions? I doubt it. I believe liberals and progressives ask these questions all the time. Conservatives are more about their greed: how little can we share and get away with it?

Good luck with that living in one of the most unequal countries on the Planet

Certainly the heart is needed for the ethics of deciding what an economy should be doing and how it should be evaluated. It's currently considered part of "economics" but really shouldn't be. Not sure the heart is as necessary for the scientific part, predicting and explaining.
