| with some readings... I didn't pull *Amoral* out of thin air. It was straight from my business economics class in college. Morality
Try and pay attention for once. I said I accepted your dictonary's definition I also said you are, and seemed to be, conflating amoral to mean not moral as in immoral. As far as economics being amoral, it certainly used to be. Socialists and communists gained the upper hand by looking toward morality to guide prefrences and arguements while ignoring rationality and economic reasoning. Free market advocates can counter with amoral arguements which are hard for the average emotional human to accept or mention that certain communist socialist policies are utter exploitation of humans. I dont expect you to understand amoral economic reasoning, anything and everything to you will likely have some moral background, or at least you'll think so and thus conflate it with an amoral arguement, such as the role of free wages or the reason for child labor, or why income inequality is nothing to worry about, or how trade deficits are neither good nor bad... (Gibby 06:35, 10 February 2006 (UTC)) "The term amoral is distinct from the terms moral and immoral, and simply refers to the state of lacking any moral characteristics. An amoral act is not morally good nor is it morally bad - it simply is. An amoral man is one who has no conception of morality or moral judgments" Economics is an amoral science, again, at least microeconomics is and economics was. Leftists turned to making moral judgements and moral arguements which in a sense could be one variable in explaining how they went so wrong. Laugh all you want, but your own ignorance is no laughing matter, as Hayek made this observation. (Gibby 15:15, 10 February 2006 (UTC)) I think you'll be the one embarrased once you get clued in as attacking people like this becomes really embarrasing when your wrong. Economics is amoral. Economics is not about creating jobs or feeding families or getting a fair wage, economics is about directing factors effeciently, it is about supply, demand, and consumption. Economies are not created to make people jobs, feed people, or to sustain a minimum living standard, economies are in place so producers make profits and consumers consume, economies are in place to effeciently direct factors of production. Oh, and I've already listed economis on the issues you know nothing about...you are afterall a communist and being a communist requires a denial of all emperical evidence proven by economic science. (Gibby 15:22, 10 February 2006 (UTC)) I figured it out. You have to deny that economics is amoral because you would look extremely stupid otherwise when you complain that globalization is a US capitalist created conspiracy theory to dominate and Americanize the entire world.
