Default Re: The Axiom of Choice

[ QUOTE ]

Some magical amount is what economists call market equilibrium.

He has absolutely no clue, nor can he ever have a clue, as to what number of choices *I* want to have, or what number of choices *someone else* wants to have.

[/ QUOTE ]

How can you just randomly assert this? I'm fairly sure there are studies done that show quite clearly that people are happier when they have less choice, and he references many of them in his talk. So yeah, he knows, generally speaking, that people often prefer having LESS choice.

To say that market equilibrium is infalliable is absurd.
