KZ:  Why even go there? Economics that is value-free is not the work of humans. For humans every thought and action are the result of values. Including economics.

Me:  Precisely. Humans are truth and ethically evaluating creatures. The only and wisest option we have is to base our economics and all of our systems on an INTEGRATION of science as empirical truth and grace as in love in action as the highest concept of wisdom. Why base things on anything less?
