Editor’s comment: Supposedly an article about investing and the economy, this turns out to be a great commentary on sociology. I will now subscribe to Morgan Housel or Motley Fool, whatever’s necessary because this cat has a point of view on human nature. Best article I’ve read in months, I hope you enjoy it too.

Favorite excerpt: Optimism, according to psychologist Tali Sharot, is basically an efficient form of ignorance.
