"Actually, if Chicago school economics questions
were needed, wouldn't they be spontaneously produced
by the market?"
Yes, but only because as
Chicago school economists, we would have assumed long ago
that we must not have needed anything that the market
didn't give us. Go to the same school as those people
and see if _you're_ not afraid of them too.
Fortunately, Minnesota Econ. profs. are well hidden from
undergrads. :)
