... taking economics back to resting on an empirical foundation of science & humanities (human science)
... leading to a Humane Liberalism based good capitalism: Save Capitalism by Making It Good

Join the conversation about building a Good (Humane Liberalism Based) Capitalism!
Metaeconomics (Lynne, 2020) brings ethics back into view in economics, while building on Behavioral Economic Science, as in scienceðics, STEM&Humanities. And, with empathy the starting point for ethics, it is especially suited for building an Ego&Empathy Economy as part of an Empathic Civilization (Rifkin, 2009), and a Good Capitalism. Adam Smith (1759/1790) saw Sentiments (Empathy) as the key, which Metaeconomics clarifies is the key to "saving capitalism by making it good (Commons)." Empathy is also the key feature of making for a good Innovism (a term associated with Humanomics, as in McCloskey and Carden 2020), which also rests on a foundation of scienceðics. Metaeconomics is a Humanomics with a theory: Dual Interest Theory works.
