    Ok, but why should people get what they want?

    I’m in Vietnam at the moment, lots of people work simple manual jobs and just get by. They don’t have a lot, but they’re friendly, welcoming, and generally happy.

    Meanwhile, the weekend before last I was in Singapore where loads of money is constantly moving around … and it did not feel like a good place to be.

      I’m not disagreeing with you. I have held the belief that neoclassic theory of economics is bullshit since I studied it 20 years ago. I’m just explaining that bullshit which is still used to measure things like development, progress etc.
