Daily Question 🔖 @everyone

Should the economy be made to serve the people, or the people made to serve the economy?

People

Gay

no u

Bit of both

Measure it out

I don't understand the question

Ok centrist

It should be made to work in tandem with.

The economy isn't a thing by itself, the economy is a bunch of people.

Let the economy serve itself.

The economy should be made to serve the people.

The question doesn't make sense.

@Zayan Watchel is correct

The economy is a collection of scarce resources that people use. People are also inside of the economy, it's a group.

I didn't care for the wording of the question. People can't be made to serve the economy if they are the economy. Ergo, my response.

I interpreted the question as what should the purpose of a economy be in relation to people.

The government is a group of people, is it not? @Zayan Watchel

only in a democracy

Is asking "Should the people serve the government or should the government serve the people?" a stupid question? @Zayan Watchel

Indeed it is, but don't mix that up with the economy. "The people" in the question, are the economy.

No Razor, because the government isn't all people, it's one group within the society.

Everyone is in the economy to some extent, not everyone is in the government.

The government is a different group from the general public, so your comparison doesn't really work.

You should ask instead what would the purpose of a economy be.

That does make a little more sense.

Should an economy be built up by the government, or by the market of the people would have been a better question.

Are we talking about the function of a economy? Or the purpose?

It's pretty defined.

The terms.

We need to define the terms.

The market. Corporations are designed top down because they're meant to do really well for a while then die, if we build our economy at large that way then... well I don't need to explain why dying is bad, do I?
