Subtitle: The Missing Preamble. In Part I we examined Justice from the standpoint of the Declaration of Independence, and concluded that no law or scotus opinion can be just if it violates Natural Law.

The laws of economics are what they are because of the natural law. If you have a good sense of people, life, and morals, you will have a good intuition about economics. You get into trouble if you can’t see far enough beyond economics to recognize that it’s the analysis of just one aspect of human activity in terms of just a few variables.
Since I’ve never taken a sociology class, and haven’t studied it on my own, your questions there are probably beyond my paygrade. I’ll not go beyond saying that societies worldwide and throughout history naturally organized themselves with an eye toward their continuance and prosperity.
