I, too, have a great plan to make the whole economy prosperous. It is based on the assumption that my mind is better than everybody else’s combined. I will listen to everybody, if for only an hour in a controlled yet highly-publicized setting. Then, I will surround myself with experts to come up with a plan. The plan will consist of strategic actions: like identifying the problems, assigning categories, identifying resources, appointing friends, visioning, educating and outreaching, listing goals, submitting progress reports – and failing anyway because economies don’t thrive under centralized control. It’s sort of like the brain saying he has no need of the nerves and dreaming of a brilliant future for everyone while the hand rests on the hot stove. Why, the hand didn’t say anything at last month’s public input session.
