We& #39;ve been saying it for years. We& #39;ve been saying it about health, about the environment, about human rights. The economy doesn& #39;t exist without people, without society. Choose the economy over people you lose everything. And https://twitter.com/joshtpm/status/1287396137536835584">https://twitter.com/joshtpm/s...

"the economy" as some single, exogenous, definable thing doesn& #39;t exist. There are lots of elements to "the economy," and usually when it& #39;s talked/written about as "the economy" what it means is: the industries and segments that rich people care about.

The lesson in communism& #39;s collapse was not "capitalism wins, economy über alles!" It was: don& #39;t sacrifice people for your economic ideology.

I am so tired of seeing this false dichotomy of "the economy vs _____" which almost never makes any sense from a policy perspective. It is never, ever "the economy vs health" because without healthy people you have no economy. Never "the economy vs environment" because same.
