>What I would have in mind is policy more guided by econ 101
I think we're in the mess we're in BECAUSE too many politicians act like all there is to know about economics is covered in econ 101.
I suggest this book - "What Every Economics Student Needs to Know and Doesn't Get in the Usual Principles Text" (https://www.amazon.com/Every-Economics-Student-Doesnt-Princi...) for some insight into what happens when perfect, academic, theoretical models collide with the real world.
