Many of you will wonder how reliable economists are. In my view, if an economist uses a complicated model to predict just about anything, you can ignore it.
By analogy, a doctor can’t tell you the exact date of your death in 50 years. But if a doctor tells you to eat less and exercise more, that’s good advice even if you later get hit by a bus.
Along those same lines, economists can give useful general advice on the economy, even if you know there will be surprises. Still, be skeptical.
Sagt Scott Adams. Und dürfte damit recht haben.
