As long as economics is our bottom line we will continue to destroy the environment, build more nuclear bombs and systematically hoard wealth in the hands of a few. It’s not naive to choose love instead. What’s naive is to think we will survive another hundred years if we do not.

"When the last tree is cut, the last fish is caught, and the last river is polluted; when to breathe the air is sickening, you will realize, too late, that wealth is not in bank accounts and that you can’t eat money." - Alanis Obomsawin

You may be thinking of ubiquitous bad economics or possibly something like greed or dodgy ethics. Real "economics," as a field of inquiry delving into economic matters, is consistent with love, ethics, and democracy.

Capitalism is like a dope head, it constantly needs a hit and is always looking for the next best high.

When a rounding error in the defense budget could literally eradicate homelessness in this country, it's clear that love is the only true deficit we face as a nation.
