In the light of questions about the state and responsibility in
the wake of the financial crisis, the debate on value-neutrality
and objectivity has again come to the fore. This volume brings
together economists, sociologists and philosophers, to explore the
key issues involved in this debate.
The collection explores three key issues:
- The role of values in economics at a time when the normative
burden of economics is increasing- should we take values as
subjective preferences or tastes, or rather as appropriate objects
of rational inquiry and debate?
- Should economists still aspire to an objective point of
view?
- The role of economists and the state of the profession.
Rather than simply revisiting past controversies, this
collection responds to the perception that the old issue of
value-freedom and objectivity in economics is re-emerging as an
urgent topic.
The chapters consider these issues in innovative,
thought-provoking and pluralistic ways, and constitute a
significant contribution for a better understanding of the
complexities and challenges economists face in their pursuit of
objectivity.
