I don't think it's a very scientific approach to recommend that we focus on "drive" and "gumption" or something, rather than systemic analysis, when we want to understand economic behavior. Even sports have more or less given up their previously obsessive focus on "gut" and "clutch" and "will", in the face of sabermetrics.
