The Consequences of Economic Rhetoric de Arjo Klamer

The Consequences of Economic Rhetoric

Editat de Arjo Klamer, Donald N. McCloskey, Robert M. Solow
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mai 2006
The field of economics proves to be a matter of metaphor and storytelling - its mathematics is metaphoric and its policy-making is narrative. Economists have begun to realize this and to rethink how they speak. This volume is the result of a conference held at Wellesley College, involving both theoretical and applied economists, that explored the consequences of the rhetoric and the conversation of the field of economics.

Recenzii

"The Consequences of Economic Rhetoric is an important volume, marking the true beginning of what may well become a new conversation in economics. It is a valuable start but only a start; future conferences and future volumes will ultimately be required to tell the story of this conversation." D. Wade Hands, Journal of Economic Literature
