>>12409297>political scienceNot all economists deal with "social constructs", some of us valuate physical goods and resources for a living (no, financial products don't count, there's no conservation law for future expectations).
Anyway, since the entire shitshow that is environmental politics stems from the failure of the free market to solve this problem, I'd consider it pretty depressing, from an objective standpoint. Subjectively, I have other neuroses (involving the foundations of logic on which all mathematical models rest), but few people seriously care about those.
