The other one to go after is, of course, the rigidity/resiliency binary.<br /><br />Just an exhausted thought.<br /><br />See also, if you have access, the 1st edition of "Economics and the Law: From Posner to Postmodernism and Beyond" as the chapter on Insitutional Economics [the old one] goes into a critique of efficiency as a foil for power and then you can hit the chapter on efficiency in the same text. The isoquants will melt before you!<br /><br />E.Eubulideshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00631527929485341690noreply@blogger.com
