Ray,
Or like a young man's attitude towards
sex!
Or, like the young and old attitudes to
anything.
Which is the point of the two assumptions - they are
useful.

Nice exchange. However, I can't resist
pointing out that your two assumptions sound like an old man's attitude
towards sex.

Selma,
As always with your posts - interesting.
However, I doubt that it is significant. That
doesn't mean they are wrong - simply that their research is stating the
obvious. So, it might be useful for those people who, for a fee, tell you
what is good for you.
It seems that everything they have done is
covered by the two assumptions that precede Political Economy.
"That people's desires are unlimited."
"That people seek to satisfy their desires with
the least exertion."
These assumptions were emphasized almost two
centuries ago - and they were only assumptions. That is, they were self
evident truths that helped the scientist to proceed in the study of human
behavior.
