First Sentence

WHEN modern economics was founded in the late eighteenth century, two axioms that still constitute the paradigmatic core of the discipline were established: the action-theoritical assumption that actors maximize their utility or their profit in their actions; and the idea that decentralized economic processes exist in, or at least strive for, an equilibrium in which the independently acting economic subjects can achieve an optimal realization of their economic plans.
