Economics Rules – The Rights and Wrongs of the Dismal Science

Delcea Sergiu a dat nota:

In his latest contribution, Rodrik delves into the thorny issue of economics as a "social science" or "hard science". As a discipline which has always prided itself with analytical rigor, economics seems to have almost drifted out of touch with reality. Rodrik's finely tuned analysis goes above and beyond the mathematical facades of economic models, seeking to unearth the "social". The book impresses through analytical clarity and is easily accessible to non-economists. Constructed as a journey through economic intellectual history, Rodrik's book essentially traces the transformation of concepts, purposes and main aims of economics qua science and tries to outline future avenues for developing the discipline.
