Does it matter tho? It's all useful in some way or another.
Well, as a matter of fact, economy is actually detrimental to societies.
You might need to back that up with info...
Climate change? Inequalities on the rise?
What do you think the economy is?
I would argue Iceland has a very good economy, yet it is world leading in renewable power and has minimal inequality.
That's an element of economics.
But economics as a whole? Start giving up claims with info.
Partially true, a bad economy is indeed very detrimental to society. People starve, people don't get healthcare. People die.
Well, apparently a "good" economy destroy the planet, kills workers and don't provide anymore healthcare. In fact, healthcare is detrimental to a good economy apparently, it liberals wouldn't be so hard on destroying healthcare everywhere?
There is nothing which inherently says an economy has to be environmentally bad, indeed there are many examples of economic success on the back of renewable power.
I'd agree in too many cases an environmentally bad policy is persued with economic measures being given as a justification, but that is just bad policy.
A good economy can invest green, a bad economy is a collection of of people just trying to make ends meet - the environment will never benefit from this, environmentally distructive options are usually cheaper than their greener alternatives.
