11 Expertise Rational vs vs Personal Intuition Anti-rational What Gove meant to say: I think that people in this country have had enough of economists and politicians claiming to be able to make detailed long-term economic predictions, when there is no evidence that their past forecasts have been anything other than guesswork disguised as expertise. Surgeons and pilots are experts, but all economists are merely witch-doctors and charlatans.

32 Librarians vs Publishers
