The rational addict
december 2010 by erindanielson
A funny takedown of Becker and Murphy's theory of rational addiction by Ole Rogeburg. "Turns out the same Ole Rogeberg actually has written a full-blown academic paper called "Taking Absurd Theories Seriously: Economics and the Case of Rational Addiction Theory" on the matter. Not as much fun as the clip though."
