We're not in the current crisis because the people expect 100% accuracy from economists. Its that economists have bad theories.

Most economists fail to offer theories that accurately describe reality. Keynesian is the current disaster.

And politicians can only pick from the available theories and tend to pick the most shortsighted of policies, as they are trying to get re-elected.

Its not that a bunch of unforeseen events have occurred. Its that theories being followed are bad. They ignore many very real things. And the consequences that most economists have been denying all along are happening.

For example, they analyze the multiplier effect government spending but ignore the effects of removing those resources from other parts of the economy. They don't analyze what happens where the resources are being taken away. But those resources are real things that people no longer have and cannot use.
