> Economics itself is the enemy. Economics arise out of scarcity.

Scarcity is a timeless fact of life in a finite world, it's not some abstract invention by "economics".

The problem isn't that more people want more things than they can have. The hardest possible life is that of a single human alone on a planet abundant in all natural resources. People and our inventions and our work and our ambitions to improve things for the next generation are the very things that reduce scarcity for other people we share this planet with.
