Economics is the simplest of the social sciences.
However it lost its way whyle trying to update itself to be ready for the flood of changes in the twentieth century
But first, economic processes in principle:
Taking bits and peaces of nature and modifying them to enable us to survive and thrive
The mst significant results of this is our ability to fashion the environment into sophisticated tools.
With the help of simple tools, at he start of our evolution we created increasingly powerful machines. these liberate us from spending most of our time working to survive.
However, these tools become a threat when their power is misused in our advanced stage of development. Something more human than inventive ability; it must be guided by wisdom -- a sense of purpose that is wider and deeper than the desire to survive with ease.
