Everyone wants to be happy. . . don' t they? Everyone seeks fulfillment in life. . . don' t they? Unfortunately, this is not the common state in life today and much is due to the human failing of greed. This book offers a solution. Science explains and understands the world of matter and philosophy explains and understands the world of spirit. Economics is the meeting place of these two worlds. Tippett provides the bridge between these two realms. It is a necessary to do so, to ensure the rule of justice. This book is aimed at presenting a common-sense, first-principles, philosophical perspective on a vital subject that seems to have lost its way. There is such a thing as justice, there is such a thing as truth; and these two need not be lost forever.
Economics is not about measuring artificial constructs such as GDP, or inflation, nor whether stock prices follow a geometric brownian motion. Economics concerns human welfare, and the best mechanism to achieve the fairest outcome which preserves our civilisation. " Dr Kim Sawyer; "I' m really enjoying reading John' s book "A Philosophers take on Economics", absolutely spot on for what is happening today. I' m pretty sure it' s the only book I' ve read by an economist (philosopher) that I could understand! And I sub-majored in economics many years ago at Melbourne Uni. " Grant Tenni; "I ' Saw the Cat' whilst reading John Tippett' s book in April. Now a proud ' Georgist' currently reading Progress and Poverty. " Gerald Vandermeer
