Resumen

This article represents an explicit invitation to foolishness. If the old Chinese proverb “When the wise man points at the moon, the fool looks at his finger” is right, we confess we are fools unable to take our eyes off a particular kind of finger that has become increasingly important in today’s society: indexes—whether they are linked to pension evaluations, mortgage rates, the budget deficit, sovereign debt ratings, or any other focus of measurement.
