You fucking nailed it, decks. you can have the super fantastic economic model #1 implemented, where on paper rainbows and daisy chains are meant to spontaneously occur across the land and it could still turn into a jack boot in the face without a strong foundation of ethics.
My favorite flavor is the free market. But I'd rather live in a strongly ethical communist regime over a dehumanizing and corrupt capitalist system anyday.
Nobody fucking talks about this. But I swear to god there's some nobel prizes in economics to be awarded if someone can scientifically quantify the importance of ethics to the success and wellbeing of an economic model.
