From George Will:

“Perhaps it would be restful to give moral reasoning a rest….”

Yeah, I guess it would be for some of us.  Even better, though, would be to stop pretending you can tell fables about the economy based on a single poorly written paper on an absurdly narrow topic.  I don’t think the fact that demand goes down as price goes up is going to come as a big surprise to anyone in the economics profession.

Fact:

Mother Jones was founded as a nonprofit in 1976 because we knew corporations and billionaires wouldn't fund the type of hard-hitting journalism we set out to do.
