This volume, which evolved from a number of conversations with
economists includes a collection of essays that have two themes: a
positive one and a negative one. The positive theme of the essays
is that economic analysis, if kept in perspective, is enormously
powerful. It provides a way of uncovering the workings of
real-world phenomena that fit the perceptions many people have. The
negative theme is that economic analysis is not being kept in
perspective by economists, and that loss of perspective means that
much of what comes out under the name of economic research has
little or no value for society. But even this negative theme has
positive overtones in demonstrating the power of economic analysis.
