Economic Progress

"That's pretty strong. I will say you've shown up what thin stuff clergymen were peddling, most of them. When I had a congregation before the war, I used to tell them that the life of their spirit in relation to God was the biggest thing in their lives, and that their part in the economy was nothing by comparison. Now, you people have engineered them out of their part in the economy, in the market place, and they're finding out - most of them - that what's left is just about zero. A good bit short of enough, anyway. My glass is empty."

I decided to put down some thoughts to the long-abandoned blog.

Economics is an interesting science. For me, one of its appeals is its dual nature; it makes use of both sides of the brain.

It can be both intangible and tangible. The value of a human life is subjective.
