The Market for Lemons

Publisher's summary, with my emphasis:

This chapter presents a relationship between quality and uncertainty. The existence of goods of many grades poses interesting and important problems for the theory of markets. There are many markets in which buyers use some market statistic to judge the quality of prospective purchases. It is perceived that in these markets, social and private returns differ, and therefore, in some cases, governmental intervention may increase the welfare of all parties.

The automobile market is used as a finger exercise to illustrate and develop these thoughts. This market is chosen for its concreteness and ease in understanding rather than for its importance or realism.

The Logical Fallacies

"One must have love or approval from all the significant people in one's life (101).

"One absolutely must be thoroughly competent, adequate, and achieving or must be competent or talented in some important area (115).

"Other people absolutely must not act obnoxiously and unfairly, and, that when they do, one should blame and damn them, and see them as bad, wicked, or rotten individuals (127).

"One has to see things as being awful, terrible, and catastrophic when one is seriously frustrated or treated unfairly (139).

"One must be miserable when one has pressures and difficult experiences and has little ability to control, and cannot change, one's disturbed feelings (155).

"If something is dangerous or fearsome, one must obsess about it and frantically try to escape from it (163).

"One can easily avoid facing many difficulties and self-responsibilities and still lead a highly fulfilling existence (177).

"One's past remains all-important, and because something once strongly influenced one's life, it has to keep determining one's feelings and behavior today (187). "If it is awful and horrible, one cannot change life's grim facts to suit one's requirements (197).

"One can achieve maximum happiness by inertia and inaction or by passively and un-committedly enjoying oneself (207)."
