the economy is a social construct

It’s made up by people who couldn’t provide value to society and had to figure out something lest they be left to fend for themselves.

I disagree, economy is just a term describing trade between people. It means that ypu dont have to be a farmer or fisher to feed yourself, but can be a mechanic and still get fed.

I do agree that the system has been exploited by greedy people with no moral or sense of compassion for fellow human.

I’m pretty sure their comment was pertaining to the current economy we live in, not “economy” as a concept itself.

Idk though, just offering the benefit of the doubt.
