Excerpt from The New York Times -- "'It’s a metaphor for my sense of economics,' Mr. Romer said. 'I picture an economist showing up at Burning Man and saying: "Oh, look! This is the miracle of the invisible hand. All of this stuff happens by self-interest, and it just magically appears." And there’s this huge amount of planning that actually is what’s required beneath it to make the order emerge.'"
