Wolfers: Imagine we had a female president who was so idiosyncratic and so moody and whose policy decisions were up and down like crazy... Could you just imagine the coverage?
It’s utterly bizarre what we allow to happen.

We need cheap rent so idiosyncratic weirdos can make a living pursuing their passions.
Call it Anti-Industrial Policy: we need is a suite of policies to nudge Americans to own and operate more little public-facing businesses. Speciality shops. Six-seater bars. Esoteric services. Restaurants serving two or three dishes. It would lower overall productivity and increase quality of life.
