I was a math major. I remember doing homework problems when I didn't understand the process. I'd go thru a whole long process and come up with an answer that turned out to be wrong. What I learned was that to solve the problem I had to start in the right place.
It's like that with the economy too. Start in the wrong place and you get the wrong answer.
"The commonwealth was not yet lost in Tiberius's days, but it was already doomed and Rome knew it. The fundamental trouble could not be cured. In Italy, labor could not support life..." - Vladimir Simkhovitch, "Rome's Fall Reconsidered"
