I think this is a fun question. I expect humor in the answers, but if you are going to be humorous please at least give a semi-serious answer as well.

What if...

>economists ran the world?
In case you haven't noticed: they do.

[Anonymous No.4753948]

not one occupation of people run the world, it's a mix of some of those you proposed and a lot more.

And specialization is one of the things that allowed economic prosperity. For example physicists are supposed to be good at physics.

>humorous
no
unless you are the kind of retard that thinks the president of the US runs America or the world
