Are Economists Selfish?

Are Economists Selfish?

Yoram Bauman takes upward the enquiry inwards a NY Times sentiment piece, based on his research.  In essence, he finds that beingness an economic science major too taking classes inwards economics are negatively correlated amongst how much students donate to 2 item charities: WashPIRG too Affordable Tuition Now.

I grip with Yoram's final sentence: "Learning almost the shortcomings likewise equally the successes of complimentary markets is at the optic of whatever practiced economic science education, too students — particularly those who are non destined to major inwards the champaign — deserve to quest heed both sides of the story." 

Yet I am non persuaded past times the evidence he gives that economic science classes are failing to do that.  Maybe, having heard both sides of the story, the students make improve decisions, but non the ones that Yoram appears to approve of!  Perhaps the students were persuaded past times this famous insight: "By pursuing his ain involvement he ofttimes promotes that of the guild to a greater extent than effectually than when he actually intends to promote it." 

And no, that is non Gordon Gekko.
