Epilogue

In the epilogue, the passage that stuck out to me the most was the portion about how economics is just a tool, and we as people must decide how to use them.  It went on further to talk about properly using the tools we are given, and the way to attain this is by having a specific goal.  Last class we talked about progress and trying to define it, and if you asked someone what that definition could be, chances are that they would respond by saying, "Progress is moving forward." But to that I would ask, moving forward toward what? Progress is such a broad term. Some people may argue that the advancements we have made in technology is not progress, but in fact, that these advancements are causing society to degress.  In order to use the tools given by economy's and utilize them to their full potential, we must have a goal, otherwise it's the equivalent and racing with no finish line, you're loving forward, but with no end in sight.
