MANDEVILLE’S Economic Paradox

DEFINITION

By Staff Reporters

Bernard Mandeville’s Paradox represent actions that may be vicious to individuals may also benefit society as a whole.

Mandeville’s Paradox challenges traditional moral and economic assumptions about selfishness and virtue. It suggests that economic systems can thrive on individual self-interest, a concept that has influenced modern economic thought, particularly in the development of free-market ideologies.

Understanding this paradox is crucial for economists, policymakers, and philosophers as it complicates the evaluation of behaviors and policies based solely on their perceived moral qualities. It invites a complex analysis of how individual actions, regardless of their intentions, contribute to the broader welfare of society.

Podcasts: WHAT IS FREE-MARKET “RENT-SEEKING” BEHAVIOR IN HEALTHCARE?

What About “Rent-Seeking” in Banking and Financial Services?

By Dr. David E. Marcinko, MBA

Courtesy: www.CertifiedMedicalPlanner.org

Rent-Seeking is a public choice, and economics, theory that involves methods to increase one’s share of existing wealth without creating new wealth [no added value].

Rent-Seeking results in reduced economic efficiency through misallocation of resources, reduced wealth-creation, lost government revenue, heightened income inequality, and potential national decline.
