No, Economics is very much part of the picture. Economics is not philosophy or religion but optimization under conditions of scarcity. As long as we remain metrics driven there's nothing wrong with talking optimization.
My two cents.
- davidw 17y agoThe problem is that very tightly linked to that is "optimized for what?", and people and societies have different goals. If people were ok simply talking about economics as a mechanism for optimization... that would be one thing, but these discussions pretty much always degrade on the internet.
- christofd 17y agoAgreed, most of these discussions lack rigor.
