Pity the Policymakers

But pity is not a free pass: We should demand that policymakers shift from their traditional cyclical mindset to one that comprehends and addresses the more complicated, yet critically important, structural issues that underlie today’s malaise.

NEWPORT BEACH – I don’t know about you, but whenever I am in an airplane experiencing turbulence, I draw comfort from the belief that the pilots sitting behind the cockpit’s closed door know what to do. I would feel very differently if, through an open door, I observed pilots who were frustrated at the poor responsiveness of the plane’s controls, arguing about their next step, and getting no help whatsoever from the operator’s manuals.
