Reply #6: It isn't "attachment" it is "acknowledgment"

[kristopher]

Acknowledgment that the economic system of the globe is capitalist. If you want to do something to change that, go ahead; and then I'll start planning using whatever system replaces it.

The problem with your criticism is that you and those like Josh clearly are under-informed on the topic of what economics is and are putting forth thoughts and conclusions with about as much validity as the average teabagger ranting about socialism. You simply can't "wing it" on this stuff and expect to have a better grasp of reality than people who spend their lives in study.

It doesn't matter that you have different motives or goals than those you criticize - all of your motives and goals are able to be discussed more effectively, more realistically and more productively if you simply know what you are talking about before you start drawing final conclusions.

Why not go to the library and get two textbooks and spend a couple of weeks in private review of the contents?

1) Econ 101
2) Natural resource and environmental econ.

Be sure to pay attention to the part where the difference between normative economics and positive economics is discussed.
