     This belief pushed on us that the economy follows some natural and unchangeable law, is specious. The fact is, it follows social & behavioral laws. And the idea that we must obey rules set by 0.1% of people because "that's the only way things work" is nonsense. When people understand that the rules are against them they cease to play the game. They cease to obey those rules.
