Hayatımızın belli bir anında, yaşamımızın denetimini elimizden kaçırırız ve bunun sonucu olarak hayatımızın denetimi yazgının eline geçer. Dünyanın en büyük yalanı budur.
Morality, it could be argued, represents the way that people would like the world to work—whereas economics represents how it actually does work. Economics is above all a science of measurement. It com- prises an extraordinarily powerful and flexible set of tools that can re- liably assess a thicket of information to determine the effect of any one factor, or even the whole effect. That’s what “the economy” is, after all: a thicket of information about jobs and real estate and bank- ing and investment. But the tools of economics can be just as easily applied to subjects that are more—well, more interesting.
