Sadly, in our developed world our pursuit of happiness and recognition is based on the aquission of the dollar bill and the persona of  the power it will bring us.  We elect our leaders based on this formula of greed and cast out anyone who might see a broader picture. Because of this economics and it’s single minded supporters are becoming the decision makers. Economics is man made and should never be in control of a world that is nature made. We need to elect critical thinkers that are not pigeon holed by economics alone but rather take all aspects into consideration when making policy.
