Neoclassical Economics on Efficiency - Dictionary of Arguments
Mause I 54f Efficiency/Neoclassical Theory: A situation is called pareto-optimal in which no individual can be better off without another individual being worse off; the terms "pareto-optimal" and "efficient" are used synonymously in the total analysis. This pareto optimum is the content of the first main clause of welfare economics. Ultimately, this result is the basis for the neoclassical justification of the performance or superiority of the market economy. Problem: the conditions necessary for equilibrium are never fulfilled in reality. >Neoclassical economics._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
