Wild false equivalency.

Markets don’t react to mere knowledge of them, like in your magical thought experiment.

Markets react to actions determined not by the knowledge itself but by discrete reactions to the knowledge called thoughts.

If economists hadn’t given up on knowledge oh about a century ago or so, we might not be so addicted to this pattern of spiraling anti-intellect.

Not a chance. This is America we’re talking about. Executives of companies the size of Boeing don’t go to jail.

He was hired to do that, so is that his fault? I am afraid the article has a point.

I highly recommend a short book, Hatred of Democracy by Jacques Ranciere.
This, like most any other thing a government could conceivably do for the benefit of the population it should serve, will always be wrecked into dysfunction so long as the officials responsible are permitted to make and prioritize commitments to private industry instead.

The fact that this must be repeated so often on this website is why I no longer take seriously hardly anything I read on it.
