Lawyers and politicians are the butt of most jokes, but is the real problem with the world the fact that the creators of the most influential political ideology are, well...assholes, and trained to be that way?
quote:A variety of evidence suggests a large difference in the extent to which economists and non-economists behave self-interestedly.
...economists are more likely than others to free-ride.
We also found evidence consistent with the view that differences in cooperativeness are caused in part by training in economics.
- Quoted from The Journal of Economic Perspectives, Vol.7(2), Spring 1993.
