Then we are agreed. The problem was your language - "... shift to an economy that is controlled democratically." Your words needed addressing, so I did, precisely because we are programmed to respond to words, and indeed words never do justice to actual experience - they are a phenomenal compression of it that leaves out the actual life referred to. So when we use words, precision is essential, lest our intended meaning result in attempts to 'democratically control the economy' - which, as you know, always ends in tears. Db
