The way he talks about marriages and divorce in Part One made me suspect that he would introduce religion as an answer in Part Two.
Anyway... I don’t see anything new in this article, apart from “we need to think more long-term”, which doesn’t work in the 3-4 year political cycle.
From what I’ve learned going through the economic classics lately, is that a) economists get things wrong, and b) economics isn’t an exactly (if at all) a science. Even the great John Maynard Keynes in The General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money says that once interest rates fall to zero, we will have full employment... yet here we are.
So like all other economics articles that have high hopes you see here on HN, I would take this article with a heavy grain of salt
