Old economist wakes up - better late than never

Well, bugger me, who would ever have thought that fluffy irrelevant concepts such as power, ethics, equity, human wellbeing, relationships, communities, social justice, long term consequences, contingency & multiple and multidirectional causality & different perspectives (systems thinking), and (surely not, this really is going too far) unions and worker-power might be important?? Some idiot will soon be promoting the idea that a sprinkling of humanity might not go amiss.

Marx was an economist who was extremely well read in philosophy, history and sociology. Just saying, Angus.

Heres an interesting exam question: ‘Individuals and communities have additional obligations to their immediate neighbours that they dont have to foreigners. Discuss.
