Passage Summary: If everyone starts thinking that getting fired isn't their fault but is caused by society, they'll ask the government to manage the economy, which would actually ruin the economy.

Reasoning: Widespread belief in job loss as a social force leads to demands for government economic control, but such control results in economic disaster.

Analysis: This stimulus sets up a conditional chain of events. The economist links the belief in social forces to a demand for government control, which is then linked to an economic disaster. Crucially, the economist notes that this belief is 'surely correct,' implying that the catalyst for this chain is grounded in truth. Look for an answer that synthesizes these links, likely suggesting that if people realize the truth about job loss, it could lead to negative economic consequences.
