Educators will be unable to demonstrate the effectiveness of non-psychiatric approaches for as long as the means used to measure effectiveness remain simplistic and reductive. Arguments about the irrationality and immorality of instrumental interventions into the brains of children will remain powerless for as long as there appear to be no alternative ways to succeed in the current system. This is a path toward an economically driven auto-transformation of the human nervous system, in which educational configurations are altering children's brains to fit the needs of an increasingly complex and exploitative economy.

A more equal society is not automatically more sustainable. While the earth has
biophysical constrains, social demands are potentially limitless. Marx thus came
to admit that the principles of a steady-state economy need to be rehabilitated
in Western society. In this context, it is worth revisiting Capital retrospectively
from the standpoint of degrowth communism in order to envision a more
sustainable future.

three assumptions that underpin neoclassical economic theory:
1. **Rational thinking**: People make rational choices between options based on the value that they identify in each choice.
2. **Maximizing**: Consumers aim to maximize utility, while businesses aim to maximize profits.
3. **Information**: People act independently based on having all the relevant information related to a choice or action.
