And second, yes, economics involves human beings. You've successfully proven that economics was not given to us by aliens. Really, what are you talking about? Most of the comments made here were about capitalism's (which is a critique of a
sytem of economics, not economics as a whole) nature to reward and encourage unethical actions but you called us hippies who don't know what we're talking about. But if I had to peg down a point in your ellipses-choked nonsense, I think you are attempting to justify capitalism by saying that economics is a result of human nature. True, but what isn't and how does this exempt it from being morally accountable? Murder has a basis in human nature, even more so than economics. Does that mean that I should be allowed to murder a man right now? No. Your point is irrelevant and you're an idiot.
