Contra a corrente dominante

"In the last hundred years or so, the neo-classical school has come to dominate micro-economic thinking. Economists concerned with competition have taken refuge in increasingly complex models which emphasise the end-state of competitive equilibrium; for a time the classical economists' interest in the disequilibrium adjustments which lead up to such a state all but disappeared.
The economic policy consequences of this dominance have been momentous. Concentration on the equilibrium state of 'perfect competition' leads to a search for 'imperfections' and 'failures' in markets. It is a short step to proposals for government action to correct such failures. Indeed, since all real-world markets must appear imperfect when set next to the perfectly competitive ideal, the scope for government intervention seems virtually unlimited."
Enquanto nós acreditamos nas imperfeições do mercado, enquanto nós trabalhamos para tornar a concorrência imperfeita... a corrente económica dominante pretende precisamente atacá-la e acabar com ela.
