The Big Problem is nothing more or less than the sum total of countless little everyday choices, most of them made by us (consumer spending represents 70 percent of our economy), and most of the rest of them made in the name of our needs and desires and preferences.Michael Pollan, writing in the New York Times Magazine, is regrettably not referring to gas prices or income distribution or any of the other macroeconomic phenomena commonly laid at the feet of some one policy or conspiracy. (You get one guess as to his subject.)
