"I gave up on Marxian economics when I saw that the central idea of labor/labor-power could be handled as a principal-agent problem." http://khufu.openlib.org/~tchecndg/archive/1999/0360.html (See Ernesto Screpanti, The Fundamental Institutions of Capitalism, Chapter 1, for a discussion of how a capital-labor relationship differs from a principle-agent relationship, that is, why Gintis might be wrong.) In Chapter 3 of The Changing Face of Economics: Conversations with Cutting Edge Economists, David Colander, Richard P. F. Holt, and J. Barkley Rosser, Jr. there is an interview with Gintis. In it he is all about scientific truth and it's independence from politics. _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
