I totally agree, which is why economics is not an exact science, but a social one.
The complexity of human relationships often surpasses the rational 'cause' of economics.
That's why I mentioned that it's a very complex topic that lends itself to much debate...
Humanity is a complex system and the rules of economics that we are able to apply, are not suitable for a dynamic environment. Much of the economics we use today never envisaged the conditions of today - with multinational mega corps that generate trillions, but produce nothing tangible.
I wonder what a "perfect" system would look like.
I really can't imagine a perfect system because it's not in our nature; it would be utopian...
