What really confuses me is that the general conclusion of neoclassical economics is that the world is too complicated and in general should be left to its own devices*. But the conclusion of how to treat the world by the party that espouses neoclassical economics the most is to play whack-a-mole every time they don't like where the world is moving.
Unintended consequences work in one direction but not the other.
Reminds me of Pascal's wager. Works for god, but not for global warming.
*I realize it is not this simple, don't need a flurry of responses defending neoclassical economics.
Edit: I am responding to some of the earlier posts in this thread about neocons.
