“Physiocrats (Stephen Keen – Economic Series - Start) ”
He said it started when allowed
To do autopsies – then the cloud
Of ignorance ’bout money left
And folks could figure out the rest.He said they found it circular,
With tubes and wires peculiar,
Quite strange, and then it all made sense
Life is a network – system – hence –It stood to reason (Albert said)
That all of life connects – that led
To economic "systems" thought;
Physiocrats were the first to talk –About a system circular
So life was not peculiar
And at its core soil soaked up sun
Which made the seed-growth aspect run.So Smith was wrong – not "labor" part
But sun was central to the start
Of economics – folks "extract"
A ceaseless flow – world's central fact.I think of Egypt's view of "Ra"
The sun, as "god", in it they saw
How life depended on that source
And talked a lot of that resource.So modern economic thought
Starts with these guys, though we now talk
About how people (AI too),
Are central – that's not Steve Keen's view.For earth may circle ’round the sun,
But lyrics say "it's money runs
Affairs of man in modern times –
But basically we're all quite blind!Thanks Holy Spirit for this.
