Just now I remember a passage from an economy textbook I read in high school, which talks about how economy crashes and booms are normal, and are a cycle

Today I keep thinking about that, and something about it just feels... wrong? Intuitively?

Why can't we make an economy that's stable and sustainable? Why do we have to push it to the limits, constantly?

Someone with an economy degree please verify me, I have no idea if I'm speaking bullshit or not
