- 'Efficient Market' Thinking Is Inefficient
- You know the joke about two economists walking down the street and seeing a $20 bill lying on the sidewalk. The first economist says, “Look at that $20 bill.†The second says, “That can’t really be a $20 bill lying there, because if it were, someone would have picked it...

- The Price Isn't Always Right
- The efficient market hypothesis dreamed up by Eugene Fama at Chicago in the late 1960s envisioned a market in which "security prices at any time ‘fully reflect' all available information."

- Markets Can Do Many Things Well, But Not Everything
- Eric, I'd agree with you that a command-and-control economic system run entirely by bureaucrats would be a really bad thing. But that's really beside the point.

- In Defense of Efficient Markets

- Why Most Market Regulation is Useless And/Or Harmful
- Justin, I think your half-way position represents conventional wisdom on financial regulation: we should do more, but no specific solution is obvious. You are setting yourself up to serve evil! As George Will writes, most regulation is championed by a confluence of Baptists and bootleggers, the first group with high...
