Traditionally economics was dubbed the "dismal science" in response to the
notion that scarcity is its foundation, and it constantly unsettles people with its
emphasis on the role that self-interest plays. It is difficult to raise a crop of
Line idealism from fields of self-interest, and to some, this is a dismal outcome.
(5) However, there is an optimistic side to economics: economists focus on market
exchange, where both buyer and seller emerge with greater wealth than they
were before, a positive-sum outcome. In contrast, many social scientists
outside of economics make heavy use of power models to interpret the world,
arguably a far more pessimistic way to view reality and power models tend to
(10) see interactions as zero-sum, meaning that any winning is balanced by a loss:
where one person improves his situation, it must come at the expense of
another whose situation has become worse. But one reason those who use power
models are not dubbed "dismal scientists" is that they are often utopian,
spuriously claiming that at some distant moment, all may win. [br] Which of the following statements concerning non-economists’ view of economists can most logically be inferred from the information in the passage?
选项
A、Non-economists tend to criticize the prevalence of market exchange in economists’ models.
B、Non-economists tend to reject the distinction between zero-sum and positive- sum models made by economists.
C、Non-economists tend to disparage the lack of utopian thinking on the part of economists.
D、Non-economists tend to dismiss the economists’ tendency to view human interactions as egotistic behavior.
E、Non-economists tend to interpret the lack of reliance on power models as evidence of economics’ "dismal nature".
