You are, in fact, with this comment, siding with me *against* Becker-Stigler, when you think you are disagreeing with me!<br /><br />"They are sufficiently different from things we like less..."<br /><br />Becker-Stigler deny this: it is all about consumption capital for them.gcallahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10065877215969589482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225373.post-85125052809124798152013-10-22T02:25:13.536-04:002013-10-22T02:25:13.536-04:00Replace "preferences" by "likes&quo...Replace "preferences" by "likes". Then you have <br />"If likes were not something that changed, we would not even have a word for them". This is not true. We also have dislikes, and the method of difference explains why we have both concepts, and would continue to explain why we have both concepts in a world where likes and dislikes never change.<br />Similarly with preferences.
