When economic theory is shallow and rushed, the solutions often look like this.
A desperate pull on an uncooperative system.
âA simplistic and hasty model will yield a result at best inexact, at worst false.â

Keynes once said economics is like plumbing - vital, but unglamorous.
I disagree.
The economy shapes society, just as society shapes the economy.
Itâs not just plumbing. Itâs architecture.
The economy doesnât sit outside society.
It shapes it â and is shaped by it.
Policy canât ignore that loop. And good economics never does.

We say economic policy should âexpand choice.â
I say: it should also promote virtue-courage, curiosity, and compassion.
Not a mainstream view. But I think itâs time we reconsider.

When economic advice starts to feel like a shell game, it probably is.
Models arenât magic.
"Dangerous Guesswork in Economic Policy" is my attempt to make that clear.

âPrivate propertyâ is not beyond question.
Itâs shaped by laws, history, and power.
This image, from "Dangerous Guesswork in Economic Policy", invites us to ask:
Who benefits?
Who decides?

đ¨ Imagine building a ÂŁ like thisâwith tools, wood, and hope.
Thatâs what bad economic policy often looks like.
My book, "Dangerous Guesswork in Economic Policy,"Â is about making sure our policies donât collapse under their own weight.
When economists get it wrong, the wealthy donât always notice.
But someone always pays.
đ"Dangerous Guesswork in Economic Policy" â out now.
