Follow on Google News | Political Scientist and Economist Refutes Prof. Douglas Amy of Mount Holyoke CollegeProf. Amy of Mount Holyoke College, the creator of "Government is Good: An Unapologetic Defense of a Vital Institution," is refuted by political scientist and economist, Daniel Brackins.
By: Bastiat Institute Brackins says, "Prof. Amy has done a poor job of making a case in support of government intervention. Since Prof. Amy is in an institutional position, as he is a professor, it is important to refute his claims and show the fallacies in his reasoning." Prof. Amy's work is often cited as evidence in support of various government programs. Daniel Brackins' paper, "The Achievements of Government or Not" can be downloaded from the Bastiat Institute by visiting http://www.bastiatinstitute.org/? # # # Daniel Brackins is founder of the Bastiat Institute, member of the Ludwig von Mises Institute, and former Chief Economist for the Grassroot Institute of Hawaii.
