[QUOTE="GhostOfKosh1"]The economy is never stronger when an inefficient act is taken. And what you are asking is does creating an inefficient act help to later create what you are arguing is an efficient act. First, the ends never justify the means (both morally and economically). Second, no the investment of the second person whom is quite often an idiot is much more likely to now do a second inefficient act. Two wrongs don't make a right. It just makes for more stupidity. In no way does that help me.
ps: am I really telling you anything you don't already know?lilburtonboy748
Economics simply deals with the allocation of resources, so morality is irrelevant. To study economics is not to debate whether the ends justify the means, but rather study the ends in themselves. Whether the best economic system is moral or not is philosophical. I probably agree with you on everything already, I was just playing the devil's advocate.
I know that you knew, but what's funnier is that I also knew you were going to make this response before you wrote it. :shock:

The connection between morality and economics does not matter, but that does not take away from the fact that morality often hitches along for the ride.I have yet to see immoral acts which efficiently benefit the economics of any society.We reap what we sow as a society and we get nothing more than we deserve as a society, economics dictates this. Good luck with your quest to prove me wrong. ;)
