I nearly laughed out loud when I read this:
“His Yale was “not George Bush’s Yale,” he says-no boola-boola, no frats or secret societies, rather “drinking coffee in the Economics Department lounge.” Social science, he says, offered the promise of what he dreamed of in science fiction-"the beauty of pushing a button to solve problems. Sometimes there really are simple solutions: you really can have a grand idea.”
Why should anyone have the power to push the button at all?
