Consider your opinion on this:
Morality represents how people would like the world to work, then economics shows how it actually does work.
·???????? Incentives are the cornerstone of modern life.
·???????? The conventional wisdom is often wrong.
·???????? Dramatic effects often have distant, even subtle, causes.
·???????? “Experts” use their informational advantage to serve their own agenda.
·???????? Knowing what to measure and how to measure it makes a complicated world much less so.
