Most people think that economics is about money, that government spending is constrained by tax, and that public services must always come second to “balancing the books”.

All of that is wrong.

In this video, I explain why money is not scarce, why governments create it, and why treating money as the central economic constraint has led to unemployment, inequality, wasted lives and environmental damage.

Economics is not about money.

It is about people, resources, care, and planetary limits.

When we put money first, we get injustice.

When we put people first, economics starts to make sense again.

So the real question is simple:

Do we want money in charge – or justice?
