GRAND UNIFIED THEORY OF THE DAY
How many economists does it take to change a light bulb?
The answer is indeterminate. Choose one of the following:
TWO: one to change the bulb and one to assume the existence of a ladder.
EIGHT: one to screw in the bulb and seven to hold everything else constant.
NONE: They are all waiting for an invisible hand.
[Alcom, S. and Solarz, B, Yale Economic Review]
bc, especially likes the last one, and thanks Sam Smith; also for the NASA one.
