Which, the more I read it, makes no sense at all. How do you "calculate" the "future income generated" by something whose "intrinsic value" you are trying to determine? This definition says that you find the intrinsic value by "summing the future income generated", yet I would think you would need to know it's "intrinsic value" in order to do this.
Indeed, nice catch you did there
Is all economic theory bullshit?
No, but you must understand that it 's not a homogeneous body. Also, keep in mind that mainstream economics are used by politics (and consequently the state) for their means. So, yes, understanding how humans interact in a society (economics) is not as straightforward as taking a course or reading a book. You 'll have to dig in.
Is that why the world is in it's current state of economic crisis?
Well, no. I may preach all the shit I want but it 's actions that matter. And make no mistake, it 's the politics that make action and guide mainstream economics, not the other way around
Would we all be better off if we simply rounded all these economists up, chained them together, handed them sledgehammers and put them to doing some real work for the rest of their lives? They could sing "Swing Low, Sweet Charrr-i-o-ot"...
No, read above.
