“We know from bitter experience that trying to force economies to do what you want is a thankless task. Markets are fundamentally based on free exchange, cooperation, trust and trade. Force them in one direction or another and you are just asking for trouble. As Alan Greenspan described this week, in an interview with John Stewart on ‘The Daily Show,’ people are a little ‘screwy’ from time to time. Which means they don’t necessarily go along with your central planning, no matter how good you think it is. But still economists insist that, if they are allowed to monkey around with it, they can make an economy better. This is occasionally true.”
