Major Management Myths

چکیده
In 1968, Professor Don Paarlberg, a noted agricultural economist, completed his book titled “Great Myths of Economics.” In this book, Paarlberg contends that while mythology is most often uncovered in the study of such subjects as weather, home remedies, and history, it can also be found in the field of economics. Paarlberg then proceeds to purge his own profession of economic folklore, half-truths, and untested rules-of-thumb through a candid assault on the validity of each. The book, being well written, was well read and enjoyed by Paarlberg’s colleagues and those who were novices in the field of economics.
