Question
The 'zombie scheme' concept, as discussed by Paul Krugman in his book, refers to ideas that should have been debunked a long time ago due to compelling evidence against them, but they continue to persist and influence people's thinking. These ideas, despite being disproven, keep coming back like zombies. Examples of such schemes could be certain tax cut policies or healthcare policies that have been proven ineffective or detrimental, but are still being propagated.
This question was asked on:
"Zombie ideas" are ideas that should have been killed a long time ago by compelling research that testifies against them, but live on infecting one brain after another. We deal with them every day: from the tax cut "zombie scheme" to the healthcare one. Krugman, however, shows us how to take "zombie ideas" head-on, so we don't have to put up with them anymore.
