It seems that economic theory finds a way to creep into many threads and that it needs a home of its own.
We are not starting from scratch, but live in a world where there is a huge disparity between the haves and the have nots, the rich and poor, the lucky and unlucky, the educated and the uneducated, the hard workers and the lazy. How do we deal with that reality? How and where should we begin?
Lots of questions get raised and are often not actually answered.
What would your economic equality look like in practice? Perhaps pick a state or small nation as a starting point. How does one get from the here and now to something better?

Lots of questions get raised and are often not actually answered.
- Do the benefits of capitalism outweigh the downsides?
- Can socialism actually provide economic equality?
- Is economic growth required for prosperity?
- Do smarter, more creative people deserve to benefit from their skills?
- etc.
