Classical Economics: Lost and Found

General Economics 2023-08-23 v1 Economics

Abstract

"Economists miss the boat when they act as if Arrow and Debreu's general equilibrium model accurately describes markets in the real world of constant change. In contrast, the classical view on the market mechanism offers a helpful foundation on which to add modern insights about how markets create and coordinate information."
