Abstract
People who participate in economic life, whatever the circumstances, need information, as Pablo Revilla rightly remarks in the opening of his chapter. They find part of this information themselves. For example, each participant in the economy is, in theory, capable of deciding upon their own objectives and consumer choices. But other kinds of information must inevitably be provided by third parties. In a perfectly efficient economic model, there would be the best possible allocation of information. There would be no inequalities in the distribution of information, or, if there were, the purpose of these would be to enable the perfect distribution of this asset among different participants.
