Q: How many economists does it take to change a light bulb?

A1: None. The darkness will cause the light bulb to change by itself.

A2: None. If it really needed changing, market forces would have caused it to happen.

A3: None. If the government would just leave it alone, it would screw itself in.

A4: None. There is no need to change the light bulb. All the conditions for illumination are in place.

A5: None. Because, look! It’s getting brighter! It’s definitely getting brighter!!!

A6: None. They’re all waiting for the unseen hand of the market to correct the lighting disequilibrium.
