The author concludes that we do not need to figure out the cause of the current recession in order to improve the economy. This is supported by an analogy to corrective lenses. The author points out that corrective lenses were a solution for myopia even before we figured out the cause of myopia.

The conclusion is the author’s assessment that identifying the cause of the current recession is not necessary to improve the economy: “It is a mistake, however, to assume that answering this question is essential to improving the economy.”

This is too extreme. The author’s conclusion is not about problems generally. It’s about what’s necessary to improve the economy.

This twists the conclusion. The author believes knowing the cause is not essential for improving the economy. But that doesn’t mean the author believes it wouldn’t be sufficient for identifying a solution.

This is context. The author’s conclusion concerns whether answering this question is essential to improving the economy.

This is a paraphrase of the conclusion.

This is the analogy used as support for the conclusion.
