What the economy, the nation and the world needs is not an academic or an economist, even an erudite and theoretically correct academic or economist, but a visionary who takes all of the data and conclusions of the aforementioned and crafts policies that penetrate directly to the level of the individual and so free him/her, and also create a dynamic upward thrust toward systemic free flowingness and increasing freedom because they are guided by a concept associated entirely with freedom/freeness/free gifting like Grace ….and so they would also go to the levels of meaning and purpose in Life. That would be a true integration of economics and Wisdom, a Wisdomics if you will, instead of a mere study and application of economics. After all, do we craft policy for homo economicus or homo sapiens, i.e. wise and discerning man? And finally, what is needed is to integrate the concept of Grace into the entire culture so that Grace takes hold as a new cultural paradigm, that is a new generally accepted idea and that will lead to a new age, a new Ethic or zeitgeist of Grace.
Amen. So be it.
