Capitalism relies on greed and selfishness -- Economists believe people are perfectly rational -- Economists think GDP is all that matters -- Economists think we live in a free market -- The rich get richer and the poor get poorer -- We are working ever longer hours -- Rich countries will not benefit from more economic growth -- There is a pardox of prosperity -- Inequality is rising in Britain -- Inequality is the cause of health and social problems -- If you're born poor, you die poor.
Özet:
This IEA publication deals head-on with a number of widely quoted myths about the market economy. In the case of the philosophical myths, such as the idea that economists believe that everybody is greedy, the author, Christopher Snowdon, carefully and entertainingly unpicks the misguided ideas that have taken hold. The author then moves on and effectively disposes of a number of economic myths using empirical evidence that is often ignored by commentators
