|content=@gingernchronic @hotepsquake @Brian_Mulhall Most texts that sell economics 101 ideology to students have a “to be sure” section where they shunt the real issues with the theory. Consider taking that section as much more important than the author emphasizes it to be.

|content=Oh. The ‘free’ part. 

More generally the fundamentalist part: The “markets always know what’s best part”. The limited liability part. The self-regulating part. The unincorporated externality parts. The “given wants” part. The unique equilibrium part. The index number part.

|content=The “market defects are small” part. The rational agent part. The shareholder value part. The “law &amp; economics” part. The “hyperbolic discounting” part. The entire “Macroeconomics” part. The fiduciary duty cures principal/agent problems part. The Ordinal/cardinal part.

Etc. Etc.

|content=@hotepsquake @Brian_Mulhall People get confused by a person who values markets but doesn’t buy into full free market fundamentalism.

Which is odd.

|content=@gingernchronic @hotepsquake @Brian_Mulhall Well, I’m for limited versions of what the free market absolutists are for. They are right that markets are wonderful and that much regulation is hamfisted &amp; subject to capture. 

And then, to make that point, they go insane and claim markets are much more perfect than they are.
