The central question that defines how you see #economics, #politicaleconomy, or even #politics more widely is this:
Are we here to serve the needs of the economy, or is the economy here to serve our needs?
Too often while purporting to believe the latter, policy is made as if the former was what is needed.
Only when we see markets & economic relations as the means to an end (our wellbeing) rather than an end in themselves will we really get to grip with our current problems!
