Erik Matson is a Senior Research Fellow at the Mercatus Center and the Deputy Director of theย Adam Smith Programย in the Department of Economics at George Mason University.
“Smith teaches how we do our part in serving the good of the whole; how in focusing diligently on the good of our part we serve that of the whole; and how freedom fortifies the remarkable correspondence between those two goods.” ~ Erik Matson
“Dynamic perspectives on welfare exacerbate the error-identification problem. If we ourselves are in the process of discovering our values, how can an external party possibly arrange our choices such that they make us better off as judged by ourselves?” ~ Erik Matson
