That's why I like economics.
Economics - even sound economics - is not what makes for a good society.
But to the man with a hammer, the world looks like a nail. So Mr. Stossel will be hard to convince.

Money is a wonderful servant — and a hideous master. It is not a suitable metric for the worth of heavenly things or the horror of hellish things.

Economics - even sound economics - is not what makes for a good society. Ignoring economics, especially sound economics, isures the downfall of any society.

Stossel is a lot of things, but among the things he is not is either an economist. He is a TV journalist. Read his book, Give Me a Break. He tells a lot of stories on himself, how as a crusading young reporter at a local station he campaigned for a law whose unintended consequences made things worse, how he probably engaged in unintentional self-deception during a lawsuit. He has the humility to acknowledge mistakes.
