Points clés
Why Economics Feels Cold-And Why That's Actually the Point
Picture an economist walking past a homeless person. While most of us feel immediate compassion, the economist's mind races to questions about housing policy, labor markets, and welfare incentives. This seemingly callous response captures why economics suffers such a troubled reputation. Yet this analytical distance isn't moral indifference-it's actually what makes economics invaluable for solving social problems. The discipline forces us to look beyond visible suffering to understand invisible victims: the jobs lost when we protect one industry, the housing shortages created by rent controls, the environmental damage shifted to other countries by well-meaning local policies. When Kyoto Protocol signatories reduced fossil fuel consumption, they inadvertently lowered global energy prices, encouraging greater consumption elsewhere. Good intentions without systemic thinking can backfire spectacularly. Economics doesn't ignore human suffering; it reveals the full scope of consequences our intuitions miss.
