My Most Regretted Statements

Jon Elster

Econ Journal Watch, 2017, vol. 14, issue 2, 286–288

Abstract: Jon Elster draws from his work on defective belief formation, illustrating with his own past errors, including about the electorate binding itself and about thinking of anti-communists “as a clock that is always one hour late rather than as a broken clock that shows the right time twice a day.”
