I'm not sure what "economics were the end all be all means" but economics is a method by which to understand the "world" under the circumstance of scarcity. I suggest reading a little more of it; it's an interesting topic.
Actually, I don't think this makes any sense. Economics is not about describing a perfect society or something. Don't be silly. :)
It's about understanding reality. Agents engage in activity described by economic principles under the condition of scarcity.
I know that seems sad or something I guess to some. It's like climate change doesn't care if you believe it's real or not.
It's just the way it is ... under the condition of scarcity.
