The Analects of Boettke

Aphorisms are pithy expressions frequently entailing some paradox, either internally or in juxtaposition with other aphorisms. This article collects and interprets the aphorisms that Peter Boettke uses in the instruction of graduate students in economics. It also examines the role of aphorisms in academic economics, arguing that their value is to be seen primarily in the craft of economics rather than in economic reasoning per se.
