Economics and unrealistic assumptions, name a nore iconic duo.

It's not unrealistic to assume that most people don't want to do a hard, miserable, body-ruining, thankless job (i.e. farming) in exchange for absolutely nothing.

I didn't specify that one assumption. I was thinking more like what the ither comment said.

Well I mean, most of the liberal and classical economists generally try to predict the behaviors of consumers, which lead to assumptions such as "People will generally be selfish".

Because they're put in an economic system where if they aren't - they starve.
