    Funny how economy was supposed to be a tool for humanity and civilization. Instead it has become the purpose. Humanity’s well being and civilizations are now secondary to a healthy economy.

      You can’t provide for people without a healthy economy. You assume it’s one it the other

        Define “healthy” economy? Would you say the USA & Europe are “healthy” economies? Would you agree that poverty, a constantly increasing wealth gap and access to affordable housing, medicine and education are some factors that define an economy’s “health” ?

          The US economy after the pandemic is better in almost any indicator. Europe hasn’t fared as well
