> what is a “good” economy vs. a “bad” economy?

One that is growing sustainably with broad benefits.



And which growth benefits spreads for a great percentage of the population instead of a handful of billionaires


I would like to add an example to this.

Restrictive zoning and the lack of walkable neighbourhoods makes it very difficult for small businesses that rely on personal service. This isn't just a slight inconvenience, but it completely changes the fabric of society. But in American libertarian circles taxation takes up all the oxygen in the room. People are generally blind to opportunity cost.
