Comment on David Glasner on ‘A Primer on Equilibrium’
Blog-Reference and Blog-Reference and Blog-Reference
Economics is a failed science and this is the current state in Hume’s apt metaphor: “... when the road ends at a coal-pit, he [the traveler] doesn’t need much judgment to know that he has gone wrong, and perhaps to find out what has led him astray.”
What has led economists astray is the concept of equilibrium. Methodology 101 tells us: every economist who accepts supply-demand-equilibrium as an explanation of how markets work disqualifies himself as a scientist.
The state of imbecility is documented by the acceptance of TWO nonentities, viz. equilibrium, and rational expectations.
