First sentence: In his essay on economic policy and the political process, Avinash Dixit (1996) quotes Alan Blinder's "Murphy's Law of Economic Policy" (1987, p. 1): "Economists have the least influence on policy where they know the most and most agree; they have the most influence on policy where they know the least and disagree most vehemently."
