Groundhog Day Economics: Why Do We Keep Making the Same Mistakes?
James Forcier, Assistant Professor and Director, Applied Economics Program, USF; Managing Director, Bay Analytics
Are we getting a clear picture of what caused the current economic situation and who is responsible? Forcier contends that blame is not being allocated according to responsibility. He asks how we can avoid similar situations if we don’t first understand the problems and recognize who is responsible – including ourselves.
