The school board moved to review the books before sending them to schools.

The main thrust of the authors argument is that basic economics courses, being centered around models of perfect competition , are biased towards the support of free market or laissez faire ideologies, and neglect to mention conflicting evidence or give sufficient coverage of alternative descriptive models. An example of the book s approach is the theories surrounding minimum wage . Classical micro economic theory dictates that in a perfectly competitive market, raising the legal minimum wage will increase unemployment, as it prevents the hire of workers whose market value falls below the legal minimum. Society therefore loses from the imposition of a minimum wage due to the loss of allocative efficiency . While real markets may not be perfectly competitive, the model of perfect competition provides a good approximation to real market behaviour. A number of counterarguments to this are given. The classical model, while neat, is only a hypothesis which should be experimentally verified before being accepted as fact. Over 30 years of econometric studies have failed to conclusively prove or disprove the hypothesis that raising minimum wage will increase unemployment. The theory is surrounded by a protective belt of assumptions which makes ... url www.scribd.com doc 27119883 The Economics Anti Textbook A Critical Thinker s Guide ... not anti economics.html ref .
