The article is fairly short, but if you don't read anything more, at least read the first section, "Origins of Neoclassical economic theory." Junk economics based on bad physics. The whole model is bonkers. I regard this as a must-read. Most books on economics overlook this.

I just get a title with a blank page.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link. I had read about the short-comings of neo-classical economics before, but this article points out the utter stupidity of the so-called founders of the theory of 'equilibrium state' economics. The situation would be hilarious were it not related to the reality of the belief system and the lack of rigor/reality of so many of today's main-stream economists today.
ReplyDeleteTom -- Link goes to EoE website without article. Had to search on author's name to find it.
ReplyDeleteAnd then, the link from the search page gets an EoE page without any article.
ReplyDeleteFound it. Seems the problem is my browser. Sorry.
