George Soros, the fund manager, has pledged $50m to back a new think-tank with the mission of reconceiving the field of economics, which he describes as a dogma whose time has passed.
He's completely RIGHT ya' know.
Economics, as fascinated as I am by the nuts and bolts of it, is basically a flawed social science.
At least one of its basic premises is terribly flawed, for example
The premise that people will do what is best for them
People don't do that because they canot understand what is best for them in many cases.
And they generally don't screw up because they're lazy or stupid, but because they cannot KNOW what is best for them given the world that we live in.
We are exposed to so much bleeding propaganda, not only in the news and talk shows, but in the entertainment and advertising we're exposed to, that most people are damned fools.
People, people who have made all the right decisios (according to what they've been told, at last) find themselves screwed in this system.
Who wins most of the time?
Liars hypocrites and gangsters.
You are absolutely correct. I know whats better for you than you yourself do.
Send me your money. It's for your own good.
