When an economist assumes that the owners of firms are motivated only by the desire to maximize profits, the economist most likely believes that
◦ the assumption is descriptively accurate, since surveys have been taken and the owners of firms have admitted that their only objective is to maximize profits.
◦ the assumption is inaccurate, since surveys have been taken and the owners of firms have admitted that they care about more than just profits.
◦ individuals entering business are quite narrow in their personal objectives.
◦ all people enter business for their own selfish gain.
◦ it doesn't matter whether or not the assumption is descriptively accurate; what matters is whether a theory built on the assumption predicts well.
