Meaningful economics

Meaningful economics

Human beings mean. We just do. Human beings contemplate the importance or significance of everything, be it a person or a place, an action or a consequence, a possession or an idea, a relationship or our well-being, an experience or our connection to something greater than ourselves. If it can be some kind of thing, we value it, inevitably and instinctively. Human life is imbued with meaning, and our conduct is guided by values and purpose. Economics is no different.
