"The unspoken assumption of the economy-as-machine paradigm is that a given action with regard to taxes, spending, or monetary policy will have a given, and predictable, result.... But the basic parts of an economy are often unpredictable and always self-interested human beings, not bits of metal mindlessly obeying the laws of physics." I am LOVING this book.
