Desmistificando as falácias econômicas Setembro 18, 2007

Alex Schwartzman é o melhor na arte de destroçar as falácias econômicas da grande mídia (e de alguns blogs, claro). Veja-se este novo exemplo:
An argument that has been floated recently, to the point of meriting the dubious honor of being officially dismissed in the Copom minutes, is that the increase in foodstuff prices would have an effect on Brazilian consumption similar to the increase in oil prices in US consumption, namely that it would work as a “tax” on consumers, reducing demand, hence inflation. Whereas, as I said, committee members downplayed (correctly) the argument, the minutes did not bother to explain why the argument does not make much sense (and, mind you, I am attempting to be polite here). In light of that, I believe that going into more detail might be helpful.
