"Human activity either involves the searching for new goals, or trying to fulfill established goals." Conventional economics deals with:
both searching and fulfilling. neither searching or fulfilling. searching, but not with fulfilling. fulfilling, but not with searching.
Economists assume that:
people have reasonable goals. people's goals are not manipulated by advertising. people have goals and act logically to obtain them. learning where goals come from is a central task of economics.
