I think you are absolutely the first human I have encountered who could accurately define economics-from the Greek oikonomikas (sp?)- stewardship of the household. I live in Ivy League territory and debate the Ivory Tower academics all the time and have a hard time trying to persuade them that the world is more than financial manipulation. Of course they know this but are too entrenched in Milton Friedmans hollow neo-liberal nonsense.
I nominate you as the next head of the World Bank. Of course you would be assassinated.
