The Lamp Post Theorem or How to Overcome Social Woes (2013)
“Today we live in a world of unreasonable stagnation, which has seen a sharp rise in unemployment and the lack of job security, as well as soaring levels of inequality. This is because we are seeking solutions to the future under the cone of light shining down from the lamp post of the past. Our economic theories, confounded by the facts, and the politics they rest on, fail to take into account social realities and the needs of the people.”
