I believe that economy can be both a social construct, and very much real
Yes, it is something created by humans that only makes sense in a social setting and doesn’t have any ties to the natural world
Yes, it also is necessary and there can be “certain rules” with universal effect, but we are still able to shape the definitions and our views according to human necessity
As a minor gripe: planned capitalist economies are a thing (there is no contradiction in it whatsoever)
Also, I’d like to point out that your reply to the allegations in the meme are very justified given the “is not even real” sentiment, using the “social construct” card to toss everying in the bin is a very much dumb take and it prevents any meaningful discussions
(But I get that the intention was to put it in a less “rigid” structure by pointing out we can change it)
