The French philosopher Emmanuel Levinas wrote that the
ultimate reason for production is not the
satisfaction of needs, but to have something
to offer as a gift to welcome the other (as opposed
to being reduced to receiving the other "empty handed").
Obviously this is not "economics", but it may help us
*situate* economics in the encompassing world of
our factual and potential life.
