Abstract

Assume that I am starting a business in Madison, Wisconsin, producing desks for professors,†I tell my students at the beginning of a lecture about Marxism. “I ask the Business School dean how much he paid for his current inventory of worn-out desks. The actual price was $500. How much does he tell me?†“Four hundred fifty dollars!†a student shouts from the back of the room.
