"I've had dentists who have wanted to help me out, but I say, 'You know, I won't work again if you fix my teeth.'"

Previous Quote

Economists have allowed themselves to walk into a trap where we say we can forecast, but no serious economist thinks we can. You don't expect dentists to be able to forecast how many teeth you'll have when you're 80. You expect them to give good advice and fix problems.
