“My friend, the advertising expert [[Anthony Tasgal]], coined the term ‘the arithmocracy’ to describe **a new class of influential people who believe that their superior level of education qualifies them to make economic and political decisions**. It includes economists, politicians of all types, management consultants, think tanks, civil servants and people much like me. I do not believe that these people form a conspiracy and I think most of what they do is intended for the common good. However, they’re dangerous because **their worship of reason leaves them unable to imagine improvements to life, outside a narrow range of measure**s. --- **Tags** -- , [[quotes]], [[systems-thinking]] , [[economics]] , [[counter-intuitive-thinking]] , [[psycho-logic]] **Source** -- [[202407221554 - B - Alchemy]]
