More on Hanania and expertise\n\nWhat I like about his argument is the emphasis on the costs of getting this wrong: if we rely on unproven expertise, the costs can be horrific. And it isn't like Afghanistan was an outlier, an anomaly. I believe there's good evidence to suggest that, in the UK, the recession or recessions following the 2008 financial crisis wouldn't have been so prolonged had the government not leaned in on austerity policy as it did; even from an economic point of view, it wasn't a good decision. (I have strong opinions on austerity more generally, of course, but we needn't cloud this point with what could be misconstrued as politics.)
