[T]he economy should minimize suffering, while enhancing human dignity and self-worth. - John Komlos

[T]eachers of economics should admit... that while markets do well in some circumstances they only do so within an appropriate institutional framework and... in others... [they] often tip the stream of benefits toward a few insiders.

[T]he current U.S. economic system... is incapable of providing a satisfactory life to... 44% of the population. ...[I]s that good enough for a $20 trillion economy... supposedly the richest in the world?

We're not s. We live in a society and we're influenced by social forces, social processes, and that's not included in the DSGE models.
