Laws of economics
I have formulated three laws of economics. Like many such laws, they may appear obvious. But I don't think this detracts from their truth.
Stein's first law of economics:
When someone tells you, this time it's different, sell. If they advance esoteric theories to back up their statement, sell at once!
Stein's second law of economics:
When a government starts talking about repaying the entire national debt in the immediate future, budget deficits are just around the corner.
Stein's law on the motivation of human behaviour:
We want more, better and free!
For more laws, check out the Murphy's Laws site.

Segersten's addition to Stein's law on the motivation of human behaviour:
We want more, better, free and NOW!
(Wasn't it the DaDa-movement that said "We want the future now!"?
Also, later paraphrased by the great UK artist Peter Hammill.)
