So I currently have 8 presentations scheduled in Iowa for the week of March 5th... will share the times and locations when they are all finalized... and I'm trying to come up with a way to introduce the fact that the economy exists in order to serve society, and not the other way around.
What do I mean? Take a look around... what kinds of things are we talking about and measuring? We talk about stock values, commodity prices, GDP, housing starts, interest rates, and other financial indicators. These are the things that make us feel good or feel not good about how our country is performing.
But when did the economy become the end?
Isn't reality that the economy is here to serve society -- to aid in delivering the goods and services that people want and need so that people can live better lives? Shouldn't, then, we be measuring the end goal -- and thus progress toward -- a happier, healthier, safer, and more-free country?
Fortunately, there are some people that are taking a look at happiness, health, safety, and protection of individual rights. Unfortunately, those numbers are falling.
