The title alone pulls you in – Economic Ideas You Should
Forget. Ideas and theories that everyone believes but aren’t true. 71
eminent economists and social scientists from around the world each contributed
an economic theory that should be forgotten. Myths debunked include more choice
is better, that economic growth increases well-being, and that CEO pay reflects
talent and hard work. This book, and the underlying message, should be required
reading for all healthcare payment reformers. For more summer reading books,

Policy Project Book Club.
