I really think economists should get mandatory training in evolutionary biology to get a feeling of how even the smallest glitches in the system, loopholes so small as not to be visible even under detailed scrutiny are unavoidably exploited by opportunistic organisms. Alternatively, some practical work in computer security may help to get the same point across.
Economists were captured long ago, to tell pleasing lies to power; I originally wanted to go into economics, but I knew too much about computer programming - it was too obvious economists had become mere computer fetishists, to me.
