Life Without Modern Economics

I say that we do not need the modern economic system. We will do better once we throw it away because it simply does not work. 190 million people in the United States are living at or below the poverty line in the United States. This is the official number so we know that the real number is probably higher. Those of us in poverty are higher than ever before. We work jobs for salaries that do not cover the price of rent, travel, and food. So why do we keep this system? Just image if the economy completely collapsed today and your paper notes and coins are worth nothing. Your home is still standing. Flowers and vegetables are still growing. Cattle still grazes. chickens still feed and lay eggs. Fish are still swimming. No part of nature cares about market forces because market forces are fabrications of people who come from nations with little resources in order to trick those of us that come from places with plenty. Economics causes homelessness and starvation. It is time that we move beyond this economics spell. - http://mtypencenter.com
