Anti-Capitalist Sentiment (with some morality)

[wufwugy]

I fully share your skepticism as to the utility of the postulates of economics.

I do too. I don't really know what goes into deciding assumptions. My best guess is that original economists said "yo we can only say stuff about what people do if we have an assumption behind it all; something like people want more of something they want and less of something they don't want, where want means whatever they decide."
