“A fórmula do desenvolvimento é simples de enunciar e difícil de executar: governo pequeno (pois o motor do desenvolvimento é o setor privado); impostos baixos (pois o governo é mau alocador de recursos); respeito à propriedade física (para estimular a acumulação) e intelectual (para premiar a inventividade); e abertura internacional para o comércio, para investimentos e para a tecnologia. O resto é pirotecnia matemática (dos teóricos) e conversa fiada (dos práticos).”

“Why are experts inferior to algorithms? One reason, which Meehl suspected, is that experts try to be clever, think outside the box, and consider complex combinations of features in making their predictions. Complexity may work in the odd case, but more often than not it reduces validity. Simple combinations of features are better. Several studies have shown that human decision makers are inferior to a prediction formula even when they are given the score suggested by the formula! They feel that they can overrule the formula because they have additional information about the case, but they are wrong more often than not.”
