Faustian Economics

Are we really that wasteful? Well according to Wendell Berry’s Faustian Economics we are. Throughout this article Berry talks about how we are wasting natural resources at an extremely high level. He also talks about how greedy and wasteful people are getting. I couldn't agree more with him. People know a days could care less about the natural resources that they are wasting. People know a days drive everywhere and could care less how much gas they are wasting. People back in the day would walk to where ever they had to go unless it was to far. They wouldn't want to waste they gas that they had in the car. They would walk or ride there bikes so they can save there money and stay in shape. That is also in my opinion one of the big reasons why people drive so much, because they are out of shape. People now would rather sit and home or drive to a place then exercise or walk. Especially kids now a days. Kids now would rather stay at home a play video games rather than go out side and play sports or do other things. This is very wasteful. You are wasting all this electricity on playing video games while you should be doing something productive. This is how we are getting people would rather waste money then do anything productive to help themselves.
