aegyptos,

Try content for a change!

Bounded rationality is of course the norm and the textbook dream of rational economic man is unachievable. However, the notion that education can be used to at least alleviate 'mistakes' misses the point. The instability generated in capitalism would occur even if that textbook dream of rational economic man was achieved.

Education resources that aren't used for human capital investment are a waste
