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 heart is the best guide to everything... Unless your heart tells you to vote 3rd party, then shame on you for "voting for Trump" your heart must be rotten & you should vote blue no matter who 😉
You’re voting for Trump either way.

The heart *is* the best guide to everything, but not an emotional heart that defies the rational mind. The deeper heart, conscience, soul, should guide us... even into the study of economics for those so inclined

There is enough evidence that humanity needs to chart a different course. Definitely an economy should take human wellbeing, (as well as the state of the natural environment) into account. These should not be reduced to monetary terms. Change is inevitable - collaboration is key

Good thing we moved on from the hunter-gatherer days, or not. They did not have to get so heady about their lives, just had to hunt, barter, trade, eat--primitive capitalism.
