I don’t really believe there is such a thing as “the economy”.

Aggregating all the millions of private transactions and all private production into a singularity is a socialist tool to subject us to governance.

Economy in the original Greek just means household management and I agree with you. Aggregating all those household economies into a whole is very misleading. Nonetheless, the practical politics of this world are such that many believe that “regulation” saves them, not the free market competition. So my solution would gum up the works for all new regs. That’s what I want.

As an aside, the most free nation on earth Hong Kong has a great beginning. The governor general when he first took over ordered no statistics to be collected. He argued that knowing about a problem would cause people to demand a solution to the problem. He believed, rightly, that most problems solve themselves. People are the ultimate resource.
