Divergence Quotes
Divergence quotes here mostly come from economic and policy commentary — differing views on the output gap, fiscal stimulus versus financial regulation, and the ambition to build stronger consensus within the economics profession. A more philosophical line closes the theme, describing the inevitable divergence between the world as it actually is and how people perceive it. Together they explore disagreement as both a technical and human condition.
These divergence quotes examine disagreement across economics, policy, and perception. For more on ambition and progress, see our Ambition collection.

There is a big divergence between views on a variety of policy issues from fiscal stimulus to financial regulation. It's my hope and my ambition for the economics profession that as we advance our knowledge, that those discussions will narrow in their focus, and that it will help to have more prudent policy-making down the road.
