A homogeneidade já não é o que era

The Motley Fool tem um artigo fantástico acerca da crescente heterogeneidade da economia e sociedade americanas, o que ajuda a compreender a tendência recente para o extremismo e a desertificação do centro. A conclusão é brilhante:

Investors and economists like to argue over who's right. Keynesians vs. Austrians, bulls vs. bears. The more I dig into these debates, the more I see that people aren't actually debating the same topic; they're just trying to get the other side to see their own version of reality, and become frustrated and insulted when the other side can't or doesn't.

We all do this to some extent. It drives home that a vital skill of anyone trying to make sense of the economy is realizing that everyone has a point of view, and none of them are complete.
