Is ethics a restricted economy of accumulation, teleological ends, and servility? Is meta-ethics a general economy of expenditure, chance, and sovereignty?

Just like the general economy is “above” the restricted economy and at the same time its truth, meta-ethics is “above” ethics and at the same time its truth.
