I agree. And I think the nature and function of our economy is too important to be left to the so-called experts.
Sure we need the experts, providing they are humble enough to involve and work with the philsophers, spiritual leaders, the artists and just ordinary people trying to make a living.
Just this morning, on the CBC, Toronto, I heard a "money" expert comment on the third attempt by the Americans to introduce a dollar coin. Over and over again, he made the point that the creation and circulation of money is affected, very much by psychological factors. This why the first two attempts the Americans made to introduce a dollar coin failed.
Then he said: "The creation and use of money depends, highly, on
human faith in it. Every time someone gives you a dollar, and you take it, you do so in the belief that another person will take it from you when you need to spend it. Of itself, that dollar has no intrinsic value."
I call this a pneumatological factor
