This book critically examines three widely accepted economic assumptions, questioning their validity and offering alternative perspectives
The three Sacred Cows of Economics are:
1. That scarcity is the fundamental problem of economics. Rubner argues that abundance is the real problem, and that economists should focus on how to distribute resources fairly.
2. That economic growth is always good. Rubner argues that economic growth can have negative consequences, such as environmental damage and social inequality.
3. That the market is always the most efficient way to allocate resources. Rubner argues that markets can be inefficient and unfair, and that government intervention may be necessary to correct these problems.
