That whole article is based on a demonstrably false premise.
That economics has some sort of validity in the real world.

It’s more akin to a religious cult than a science.
The basic assumptions of so-called economists (who, ironically, know little of economy and instead promulgate a creed of consumption and waste with no regard to physical limits) have been refuted many times over....
Professor Whitehead, any thoughts?
(There might be a beer in it for ya)
