To The Marginal Revolution: Rise and Decline, and the Pending AI Revolution, here is the very close of the book:
There is however a slightly scarier version of this story yet. Maybe our intuitions about the world, including the economic world, were never so strong in the first place. Maybe we put so much value on “intuitive” results, in 20th century microeconomics, as a kind of cope and also security blanket, to make up for this deficiency. But our intuitions, even assuming them to be largely correct, always were just a small corner of understanding, swimming in a larger froth of epistemic chaos. And now the illusion has been stripped bare, and the true complexities of economic reasoning are being revealed.
As Arnold Kling would say, “Have a nice day.”
Can I say again “Have a nice day”?
