Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

God, no.

My point (though not clearly written) was not on coherence. Much less on the economical part.

It was philosophical. Centre-"left" (and hard-"left") proposals have been a variation of greed. That was my point.

Economics is nothing more than philosophy (and religion) through other means.

In a completely different front, I much doubt that the human species has the cognitive capacity to produce anything "coherent". "Enough to keep things going" is the best we can do. Note that saying this does not make me an Austrian ;)

PS - I always rate posts and, at the end, click the browser "close tab" button instead of the page "Rate all" button. Sorry, but it is a habit difficult to break.

It is the dream of Cornucopia. Some time ago I read a Bradbury novel (I think) were dystopia was achieved by to much Cornucopia - nothing for people to do.

When dystopian science fiction writers can raise no objection to infinite growth on a finite planet other then that it will be boring, then you have a general capture of the minds.
