    Many people--especially economists--fall in love with critiques of policy that emphasize perverse, ironic outcomes. These critiques are excellent for highlighting their cleverness, and also for reinforcing their opposition to state action.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1379559800963481600 …

    I don't why it's so easy to believe this idea (with us since seat belts, at least) that the benefits of something that works to greatly increase safety will be undone by people becoming so reckless that it overwhelms the safety benefit, but it seems so pervasive.

        best part of this tweet is you as a political scientist, not citing any economists imo

        Economists' pandemic advice has been dismal but outsized in influence, I may be biased but feel urbanism/social geography has been roughly the inverse. To put the typical economist shortcoming in appropriate terms....confirmation bias!

        I’m sure many feel the same way when I tell them gerrymandering and polarization are unrelated

        Yeah, while I'm guessing where this comment is coming from, it is very weird to make it in the context of this epidemics - economists seemed quite unified at criticizing epi/public health for straying from first order effects

        Public policy in general, but Economics specifically, is just drenched in contrarianism, to its great detriment. We need much more pro-establishment takes.

        Bad policies, too, have second order effects and they often serve to compound inequalities. Excluding immigrants from welfare correlates with lower probability of graduating HS among their children. Let's focus on those.

        Some perverse outcomes are real. Giving people "diet" versions of their favorite snacks can actually cause them to consume more calories.

        But if the intervention is hugely beneficial--like a seatbelt, a 95% effective vaccine, or a condom--it's unlikely that recklessness is going increase enough to offset the benefits.

        I believe that A O Hirschman’s Rhetoric of Reaction should be required reading for every social scientist and journalist.
