Download or read book Thirteen Persistent Economic Fallacies written by E. Mishan and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2009-04-30 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: E. J. Mishan, an iconoclastic economist who has taught at such schools as the London School of Economics and the New School for Social Research, is in this volume a provocateur, smashing staunchly held beliefs of the right (free trade and common markets are good for the economy), and the left (local jobs are always lost when factories close down, pay disparity between men and women signifies discrimination). He also pokes holes in the accepted wisdom held by all, arguing for example that economic growth does not necessarily improve lives. Those who believe the fallacies Mishan exposes to the light of reason in this book are, however, neither ignorant nor careless. The fallacies are all plausible, and intelligent people can be forgiven for believing them. Mishan simply wants readers to see these thirteen popular, persistent fallacies for what they are: Humbug. Mishan's scintillating text is apolitical. In arguing that immigration does not benefit a country's economy, for example, he is not arguing in favor of restricting immigration. Rather, his goal is to test the assumptions behind the dearly held positions of both the left and the right or to expose what he calls the breathtaking fatuity that counts as wisdom these days. Mishan wants to interject common sense and logic into today's debates over the economy and, especially, the political arguments that translate into legislation that has a negative impact on people. Mishan's ideas breathe new life into debates gone stale by ideology. As he notes, the fallacies in this volume travel in the highest circles, from debates in Congress to the pages of the Wall Street Journal, Time, and The Economist. Most are things everybody knows. He hopes, therefore, to expose the concerned citizen to the shock-treatment of discovering that much of what passes for conventional economic wisdom is in fact fallacious. As the Economist pointed out in its glowing review of the first edition of this book, Dr. Mishan has written the perfect book for anyone wishing to start the study of economics.
Download or read book Adam s Fallacy written by Duncan K. Foley and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2008-04-30 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book could be called “The Intelligent Person’s Guide to Economics.” Like Robert Heilbroner’s The Worldly Philosophers, it attempts to explain the core ideas of the great economists, beginning with Adam Smith and ending with Joseph Schumpeter. In between are chapters on Thomas Malthus, David Ricardo, Karl Marx, the marginalists, John Maynard Keynes, Friedrich Hayek, and Thorstein Veblen. The title expresses Duncan Foley’s belief that economics at its most abstract and interesting level is a speculative philosophical discourse, not a deductive or inductive science. Adam’s fallacy is the attempt to separate the economic sphere of life, in which the pursuit of self-interest is led by the invisible hand of the market to a socially beneficial outcome, from the rest of social life, in which the pursuit of self-interest is morally problematic and has to be weighed against other ends. Smith and his successors argued that the market and the division of labor that is fostered by it result in tremendous gains in productivity, which lead to a higher standard of living. Yet the market does not address the problem of distribution—that is, how is the gain in wealth to be divided among the classes and members of society? Nor does it address such problems as the long-run well-being of the planet. Adam’s Fallacy is beautifully written and contains interesting observations and insights on almost every page. It will engage the reader’s thoughts and feelings on the deepest level.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1892 edition. Excerpt: ... PART II.--THE PRACTICAL ISSUE. L Already, perhaps, the reader, in accepting the argument, has recoiled in despair from the vast vista of social reconstruction which it opens up as the only alternative to a long decline towards darkness. He may be moved to cry out with Mr. Lang, and with perhaps the better justification as having really tried to understand the case, that "the social problem is insoluble," and that after a few centuries we shall just "worry back to barbarism." There is a certain sombre fascination in this species of pessimism that especially captures the belletrist mind, even that mind which, in resentment of other austere philosophies, formulates for itself in the name of mythological science the doctrine of a divine "Father who is not far from anyone of us,"1 and is solaced under the pressure of the insoluble social problem by the spectacle of the "beautiful Church of England." But if the belletrist, who at least realises that there is a social problem, is thus impressed by it, we must confess that it will be hard to bring home to his public I the falsity of the current economic gospel of saving. All the forces of egoism and optimism are on its side. As a matter of fact--and this is the real crux x Mr. Lang: Myth, Ritual, and Religion, i. 340. 119 of the case, remaining after all the economic fallacies are exposed--the average middle-class man has at present no way open to him but saving to provide for his old age; that is, the minority must "save" in order to live one day on the labour of the majority. If the saver buys an annuity, bis money seeks investment all the same. How make the middle-class multitude ever realise that this proceeding of theirs is a saving only of abstract purchasing power: how make them see, even...

Download or read book Economic Sophisms And What is Seen and what is Not Seen written by édéric Bastiat and published by Collected Works of Frédéric Ba. This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume, the third in our Collected Works of Frederic Bastiat, includes two of Bastiats best-known works, Economic Sophisms and the pamphlet What is Seen & What is Not Seen. Both Economic Sophisms and What Is Seen and What Is Not Seen share similar stylistic features and were written with much the same purpose in mind, namely, to disabuse people of misperceptions they might have had about the benefits of free trade and free markets. Economic Sophisms and the other writings in this volume show Bastiat at his creative journalistic best: his skill at mixing serious and amusing ways of making his arguments is unsurpassed; the quality of his insights into profound economic issues is often exceptional and sometimes well ahead of his time; his ability to combine his political lobbying for the Free Trade Movement, his journalism, his political activities during the 1848 Revolution, and his scholarly activities is most unusual; and the humour, wit and literary knowledge that he scatters throughout his writings demonstrate that he deserves his reputation as a most gifted writer on economic matters, one who still deserves our attention today.
