ABSTRACT
In her inspiring speculative essay ‘Order Out of Chaos in Economics’ (1997), Victoria Chick reports that she:
… had long puzzled over an observation which appeared paradoxical: that the people who seem most able to live in the present moment are those who are happiest with ‘timeful’ theories, and those who displace themselves either forward or backward in time, but who find it most difficult to be in the present, are those most attracted to static theory.
