The Charge of Creepiness, Bryan Caplan | EconLog | Library of Economics and Liberty

The Charge of Creepiness, Bryan Caplan | EconLog | Library of Economics and Liberty writes:

“CK, an Ecolog reader, writes:

I find your obsession with the topic of people's personal choices to be deeply creepy. Also, the fact that your starting point is that they are in error is a textbook example of bad logic, e.g., assuming what you need to prove. Furthermore, it is highly against the logic of economics to assume that you know people's preferences and/or utility function better than they do (cf., consumer sovereignty)”
