From Your Lips To God's Ears

The lesson I learned is how little we know, the world is complex not some circular flow.
The economy is not a class you master in college, to think otherwise is a pretense of knowledge.

F. A. Hayek via http://cafehayek.com/2011/04/the-fight-of-the-century-2.html

Obama should listen to Bill Clinton, who last fall seemed to be channeling Hayek:

Friedrich Hayek, The Fatal Conceit: “The curious task of economics is to demonstrate to men how little they really know about what they imagine they can design.”


Bill Clinton, 9/21: “Do you know how many political and economic decisions are made in this world by people who don’t know what in the living daylights they are talking about?”
