Default Bad Economics

This is an honest question that I don't have an answer for. Why is it that when we're young we always have the largest but best rules of economics instilled in us, but when we move out of the playground and into the cube farm we lose said economic knowledge? In short, why are most people economic morons in old age and economic geniuses when they're only 8?

This is because, economic problems of an eight year old are far less complex than those of an elder person.

Probably because our mommies tell us not to litter. It's bad for the world!

The economic problems of the adult world are worse, but they are the same as on the playground. You wouldn't tell children that it's ok to take fom a child with more toys and distribute them to others. We do that with the progressive tax. The only difference is that we're blind as adults. It could be the big fancy words. Or education. I really don't know.
