Reason versus Emotion in Economics: A Praxeological Response

According to a relatively new economics field called Behavioral Economics (BE), one’s emotional state rather than reason influences their economic decisions. Vernon Smith, the BE economist who won a Nobel in economics, wrote: People like to believe that good decision making is a consequence of the use of reason, and that any influence that the emotions might have is antithetical to good decisions.

The Cato Institute’s Belated, Squishy Stance on the Latest Middle East Crisis

The alarming events taking place in the Middle East are growing worse and have more than a small potential to entangle the United States in another foreign war. Hamas’s well-coordinated, surprise attack on Israel from Gaza clearly blindsided Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government.

But in the foreign exchange markets and bond markets this intuitive concept has sometimes powered a narrative which drives long-term US interest rates and the dollar upward in tandem.

Cut through the Media Noise, and Remember the Economic Priorities

Trying to keep up with economic news is exhausting. Tune into the financial news channels or scroll through any number of economic blogs, and you’ll be hit with a fire hose of alarming headlines, scary-looking graphs, and a tone-deaf establishment emphatically declaring that the economy is better than ever. Debates rage on social media and in the halls of Congress over the most trivial policy details. All while the financial markets swing...
