economics and psychology are inseparable mate <:GWcfcThonk:357907199928041473>

RAW HARD DATA. Oh baby

Economy is the way humans interact with each other in a society. Since the economy is made out of human beings, and psychology is the study of how human think, having some understing of psychology would be helpful and probably even necessary when designing an economy

I think the idea of "designing" an economy is kinda stupid

talking about a planned economy?

I mean deciding what system you want to use

I would chose capitalism ror example

It's clearly the best

It's not just the best, but it is the most natural

And that's becuase it sits well with human psychology

it's a system that arises on it's own, like natural selection

Yes. Because it's based on human nature

somewhat

it's human nature to want to survive, so a system where we can obtain resources without putting ourselves in physical danger is obviously more appealing.

I dont like this line of argument that it's based on human nature

I think it's a bad argument

especially in regards to property rights

property rights and capitalism is a new phenomena in regards to the existence of humans

Mate this Private Company is actuallly a Public Park, you fucking Capitalist

Humans are both selfish and competitive in nature. Capitalism takes that and uses it for the benefit of everyone.

you can attribute certain aspects of human nature to socialism

it doesnt mean them of nature

Life and Liberty are natural rights

property is not a natural right

you have to fight for both though

government is there to keep things civil, but other than that, it's all the same

In a world where the government doesn't exist, you can still own property. It is a natural right

But that's not the reason it's a good idea

It's because it really goes well with the human nature

It just does

In a world without a government you can own slaves, it doesnt make it a natural right

just because you can practice something without government, it doesnt mean it's a natural right

well it's going against someone else's natural right

Only if we agreed to make that a right, And typically your rights don't hurt other people, owning slaves does hurt other people - so no

It goes well with human nature as far as it is a good mechanism to maximize survival

it's not that complicated

I dont think it needs to go any deeper into psychology to explain it

that's not what it means
