I'm always amused by your quaint view of economics. There's a reason why students are ready to become "environmentalists, diversity consultants, and democratic party campaign operatives" rather than engineers. That's because there's someone else willing to pay them to be "environmentalists, diversity consultants, and democratic party campaign operatives". It's that ol' supply and demand thingee you crypto-socialists have so much trouble with.

Yes, but the question is whether an economy can be sustained employing environmentalists and diversity consultants. Sure, demand for those jobs exists, but you have to have an underlying tax base of productive industries so that school teachers and environmentalists can draw from that well. If an economy could magically exist in a vacuum where everyone had jobs like that, I am sure Argentina's people would all declare themselves to be environmentalists.
