The Hidden Side of Everything

Economists tend to be heavily focused on outcomes and care very little about process. If you can free yourself from caring about the particular path by which an outcome is reached, then that frees you up to follow whatever path leads to the outcome you want.

All that atters is the outcome, and then let me know how it turns out, good or bad.
