Can you point to a few examples of economists using it? Obviously I won't count Lemmy users.

In the hardcore contemporary literature you mostly see more precise language such as perfect competition, (theoretical) situations which are pareto-optimal, which is built on Adam's rational choice models. The maths became more solid, the idea didn't change. They didn't have game theory back then.

And FFS read The Wealth of Nations and see what he thought of monopolists he'd consider our billionaires to be no different than the kings of old. The father of capitalism was out for universal wealth and happiness, not personal enrichment.

You honestly seem obsessed with that adam dude.

I think your problem is that you seem to think that "perfect" mathematical models will ever work in real life.

I said the exact opposite the whole thread. Are you confusing me with a capitalist or something.

It's all you talk about though.

No one cares about Adam when his ideas are frankly stupid. Or at least how you describe them. He might be a solid dude.

It's all you fucking asked about.
