Abstract

The present paper is devoted to showing, via a reductio as absurdum argument, that all externalist explanations for truth in economics are false, but that if any are used, it should not be the democratic one utilized by Rosen (1997). Rather, even though it is equally fallacious, it should the one proposed in the present paper: the last publication in a debate indicates the substantive winner.

Key words: truth, economics, majority rule, democracy, debate, argument.

JEL classification: B0, B1, B2, B4.
