Just to put things in some perspective, I suggest we consider that following assertion.

Quote
Most or almost all human actions have an economic genisis.


Love, its all economic
Art, music... it s all economic
Sports.... economic
Food, cooking.... economic
HaVING CHILDREN.... ECONOMIC
rELIGION--- ECONOMIC
sCIENCE... ECONOMIC

There are virtually no known examples of human activity that are not fundamentally economically motivated. Even when a single mountain man lives alone in the wilderness... it is all economics. Whan a soldiee jumps on a grenade to save his friends, it is economic. Jesus and Buddha were no more than great economists.
