For Economy, Aging Population Poses Double Whammy
At the end of the day, the important thing should be, can the real economy sustain the population (whatever they age)?<p>Do we have the resources or not?<p>I had that idea that the economy was a machine that we use for producing what people needs. Not anymore. It&#x27;s obvious that it&#x27;s the other way around.<p>Even the tittle of the article is about how some people is a problem for the economy.<p>------<p>OK, I&#x27;m editing this comment, because reading the answers it&#x27;s obvious that I&#x27;m being misinterpreted. My point:<p>I was trying to criticize the framework that is sold to us continuously, where the people is in the service of the economy (population poses a whammy), instead of the economy at the service of the people, because, how can population be a liability if the point of the economy is to serve the population?<p>We lost our ways somewhere along the way.
