Up to now, economics as a branch of social science has been
concerned mainly to map the commercial and financial relations of
Humanity, including a wide variety of institutions spawned to
sustain livelihoods within these relations. Although these
relationships, qua relations, are by definition intangible, the
forms by which these relations are expressed -- and in which they
may even be quantified, predicted and managed -- are all tangible.
Thus we arrive at the tantalising paradox wherein, for economists,
tangibles seem to occupy the entire space of interest, even though
that which has given rise to their very field in the first place
are actually social relations that remain utterly intangible.
Always and everywhere, the tangible is also quantifiable. However,
lifting this veil uncovers something very strange. To the extent
that tangible economic activity takes quantifiable form, it is
possible to generalise about the forms themselves and/or to verify
them, without reference to any further information as to the
intent, conscience or consciousness of those who gave rise to these
activities in the first place. This elimination of "subjective
factors", such as intention, was long trumpeted as the economists'
greatest success (as social "scientists"). This book presents the
many quintessential elements of economics from all around the
globe.
