The really funny thing about that page is that it clearly shows that you can explain everything with countless and practically arbitrary economic “theories”. In the end are so many “plausible” reasons -no matter that a lot of them are mutually exclusive- that you still have absolutely no explanation. But sure there’s a lot to discuss with and a lot of “work” for your fellow economists.

I think it returned a 404 because someone was searching for the invisible hand.

Or the rational actor.

Economy, theology… pick your flavour and start believing.

Ravioli will cushion us from the excesses of the market, though.

Worry not - I have my coat and I’m going to bed now
