It is the definition of economics.

Furthermore, economics is a set of contingent social articulations which requires continuous moral action in order to reproduce its particular articulation at any given moment. It is not woven into the fabric of the Universe, as is also presupposed in the argument put forth by Conor.

But the point of the article is to place the agency ie choice of how homes are built, not in governance ie the people, but in private capital. That configuration is moral. It's sold as technical, but is firmly moral.

If we did not know of another way then you can claim it is technical (economic).

I read it as moral because it collapses agency into necessity. The argument assumes that social risk must be absorbed through financial markets rather than governed collectively, and treats that assumption as non-negotiable. That presupposition is not neutral and exerts a moral valence.

The problem with this framing, and I read it as a moral one, is that it defends risk socialization through financial architecture rather than democratic governance by converting socially produced wealth into a private option on risk, exercised for capital gain.

Minnesota Democratic Party Chair Ken Martin, attacking the challenge itself: “It doesn’t make any sense to me that he would spend all of this political capital, frankly, all of his political capital, on a wild goose chase…”

April 2023: Only about half of Democrats think President Joe Biden should run again in 2024, a poll shows, but a large majority say they'd be likely to support him if he became the nominee.

Feb. 2023: Establishment Democrats gathered this weekend in Philadelphia have one message for U.S. President Joe Biden as he weighs running for a second term: Run, Joe, run.

When did you first tell Biden and his team it was inappropriate for him to run for a second term?

Investor-owned homes account for roughly 20% of the nation’s 86 million.

If Blackstone is understood as an archetype rather than a market-share outlier, then it clearly matters...unless supply and demand are no longer mediated by price.

I read as labeling Denmark’s relationship to Greenland as colonial delegitimizes Danish sovereignty while simultaneously positioning the United States as a liberating or reorganizing power.
