LMFAO! You claimed my example wasn't Pareto Efficient when it clearly is. Obviously the one who needs to learn about the concept is YOU. Now go back to school before running your mouth about things you'd don't know the basics about.

Oh dear. Repeating yourself?

That wouldn't be Pareto Efficient because all other individuals can work, therefore the individual with all the donuts would have an interest in exchanging his donuts for some work from the other individuals.

Got it now? You're making a fool of yourself for both:
- Defending your doughnut example.
- Denying the importance of Pareto optimality in measuring efficiency.

What part of the word "equilibrium" don't you understand? You would have actually come across that word if you had ever actually read any economics literature. Do try reading some.

You misspelt equilibrium.

I do make spelling mistakes and when I do, I correct them. I don't do what you do: make a mistake using a term and when I do insist that others who use the term correctly "don't know crap".

Read my last posts. I've addressed your points.
Read your last posts. You've addressed none of my points at all.

It's not my fault you're wrong here and just playing the "I know but you don't" card without actually saying anything.

How am I wrong? Is the equilibrium situation I gave at Pareto Efficiency, Yes or No?

You have no "points" to address. Basically you're throwing anything at the wall to evade the fact that you apparently don't know what Pareto Efficiency means. I'm sorry you're both stubborn and wilfully ignorant but that's really your problem, not mine.

I already showed you why not. The doughnut individual would exchange donuts for work. Haven't you read it? I'm not surprised.

Then you don't know what you're talking about. NO situation would EVER be Pareto Efficient using such "logic". Pareto Efficency supposes an equilibrium position, a fact you keep ignoring or can't understand. Please actually read an Economics text before spewing such nonsense.

Here's an on-line Economics text for ya:

A second important note to recall is that Pareto-optimality is a general equilibrium notion

lol, that's why your example ISN'T Pareto efficient. Because it cannot be an equilibrium since there are exchanges that are profitable for both.

You've finally discovered the problem with your example. Congratulations.

You're an idiot. By that moronic definition there can NEVER EVER be any equilibriums at all! You've never actually taken a Economics course, have you? Since in the example the only resource is doughnuts, there is nothing the guy with all the doughnuts can profit by any exchanges. This is soooooooooooo basic that I'm flabbergasted you keep trying to say otherwise.

When you're done making a complete fool out of yourself, let me know. Or you could try to find an Economics text or even an on-line Economics article that says the example I gave wouldn't be considered a Pareto Efficient one. Good luck; you'lll need it for such a quixotic search.

Lol, you read economics 101 and thought economics was finding the equilibrium in a market with one good and where nobody can work? That's not an economy to me, it's a fairy-tale.

No wonder some people think economists are useless. There are some pseudo-intelligent people that think it can be something that stupid.

I'm sure your one of the person that thinks the law of supply and demand is automatically valid in general equilibrium. Am I right?

If you don't know what a term means, you shouldn't use it. When somebody else uses the term in a correct manner, you shouldn't pretend that they don't know "crap about it" when they are right and you are wrong. I already said, in first post, that Pareto Efficiency is a worthless concept in the real world, but apparently you're tooooooooo stupid to understand that. If you don't understand the basic principles of economics, then maybe you should stop ridiculously playing like you're some kind of expert when you're just a loudmouth, simpleton jerk.
