On one hand I believe that very few interest groups steer many things to a large degree.
But the shear incompetence of all big human groups is also astounding.
Can both be true?
Would for example the government have the brightest of the best mathematicians to forecast such bubbles, so that almost nobody but them could anticipate them?
On a similar matter… I’ve listened to an amazing book. Neal Stephenson - Cryptonomicon
