so, if an environmentalist group doesn't follow a hard-core neoclassical
perspective (points 1, 2, & 3 below), it's a "special interest group"?

do the George Mason University Law School and Economics Department analyze
themselves in these terms? are they rent-seeking?

=====================

Like Pozzo, they're waiting for 'O'bjectivity.....

For more on rent seeking by factions engaged in political economy research,
pedagogy, polciy formation/prescription etc. see:
