A way to simplify the analysis: "only a crisis — actual or perceived — produces real change. when that crisis occurs, the actions that are taken depend on the ideas that are lying around." Friedman 1962. I learnt it at EAG NYC and thought it was very good

Because otherwise you have to look at all the agents persuing their goals across all of time and that's not very tractable! Simplifies to looking at agents closest to power at specific moments in time, or how they might get there :D
