I would pay unlimited money for somebody to teach me how to open my laptop, do the one thing I opened it to do, and then shut it.

Interesting debate on #r4today re the merits of "economic growth". I'd add that the existence of something called "the economy", which can "grow" or "shrink", is a surprisingly recent idea If we'd told Mr Gladstone "the economy" had "grown", he wouldn't have known what we meant

For most of the C19th, "economy" was not a "thing" ("THE economy") but an ethical practice, like "morality" or "good housekeeping". Practising "good economy" & "making the economy bigger" are very different ideas. There may be something in that older language worth recapturing.
