  Too many people (most notably economists) fail to recognize the impacts of #economics on societal norms. The #capitalism that touts self-interest is largely responsible for raising narcissists like Trump and Musk to pedestals that far outstrip any benefit to society they could possibly provide. Almost every culture has had social norms, and often laws, to combat human tendencies toward greed. But the religion of capitalism has, unfortunately, transmuted a deadly sin into admirable virtue.
