ARE ECONOMISTS ‘MARKET FUNDAMENTALISTS’?

Art Carden and Mike Hammock

Economic Affairs, 2009, vol. 29, issue 4, 92-93

Abstract: We summarise Bryan Caplan's defence of economists from The Myth of the Rational Voter, in which he argues that economists undersell the benefits of markets. We also elaborate on his conclusions and discuss applications to specific topics, such as the minimum wage, as well as how Caplan's results might affect the way economics courses are taught.
