BR asks about the economic content of "old sayings."

We talk about habits, character, and "thinking fast and slow."

Plus, TWEJ takes on cultural norms.

Some links and background:

• F.A. Hayek on habit and information
• B. Hooker on Rule Consequentialism
• Munger on Pave the Muddy Paths
• Munger on Rule Utilitarianism
• Russ Roberts on Wild Problems
• Roberts and Munger on Norms and Sports
• Roberts and Munger on Cultural Norms
• David Schmidtz on "Desert Town"
• Adam Smith on being committed to your principles
• Alfred North Whitehead on habit

Lagniappe:
I think we all see different headlines. This one (to me) says, "Sheetz raises gas prices using long lines and frayed tempers on one of the hottest days of the year!"
