Sam McDonald Epilogue #6

As I read the Epilogue of Naked Economics, I came to a section that was very refreshing for me. This section stated that although today American's are one of the hardest working people of most first world country's, as wages increase there will be a point where we work less hours. Naked Economics goes on  to list some things that are equally, if not more, valuable than the machine that is capitalism and economics. Some of these things are humanity values, culture, beauty, and community. After reading this entire book which focuses on only what is good for the economy I have been swept up a bit by its mechanical reasoning which disregards many human values. Reading the epilogue made be ponder whether we should rely more on economics or our human values.
