Economists Favour the Price System Who Else Does?*
探讨了除专业经济学家外，多数人为何抵制价格体系，分析其四个主要原因，并指出价格体系可能比传统理论所承认的带来更多问题。
SUMMARY Most people except professional academic economists resist or reject the use of the price system. The four main reasons are lack of information, undesirable distributional consequences, unfairness and reluctance to trade, and adverse effects on preferences. The reasons brought forward against the price system are only partly convincing, particularly in comparison to other decision‐making systems. The use of the price system may create more problems than traditional neoclassical economics admits. The difficulties and paradoxes connected with the use of the price system provide a challenge to existing economic theory.
