Dear Pen-L'rs,
Does anyone have handy references or the actual data from studies showing
that students who major in economics or in economics grad programs develop
personal attitudes that mirror the theory of the rational calculating
economic actor they are studying?
For an upcoming presentation relevant to pomo stuff, I would like to make
point that studying postmodernism can lead to self-reinforcing effects on
outlook to world (despair, depoliticization, etc.) and use the economics
stuff as parallel.
Thanks,
Thad
