The big lesson of the 2020s? Don't ignore the economists.
Quite honestly, I wanted to pull a single quote from this article to put here as a hook, but I would end up having to copy the entire article.
This article from Reason.com highlights the critical errors made in the 2020s by policymakers who ignored economic principles. It emphasizes the negative consequences of sidelining economists during the COVID-19 pandemic, Biden's inflationary policies, and Trump's tariffs. The article argues that these decisions, driven by a belief that economic principles are optional, have led to worse outcomes than necessary, underscoring the importance of incorporating economic insights into policymaking.
