Economics has become polarized. On the one hand there is a body of
economists who concern themselves with progressing their discipline
via an increasing use of mathematical modeling. On the other hand,
there are economists who believe passionately that in order for
economics to be useful it needs to take account of its history, its
impact on society and its real world applications.
The contributors to this book fix their scholarly glare on the
heterodox section of economics, and in particular upon critical
realist approaches to the subject. Experts from a variety of
perspectives have come together in these pages to examine the
impact and usefulness of critical realism in relation to the
different spheres within economics.
Notable for its contributions from such distinguished figures as
Clive Granger, Edward J. Nell and Peter J. Boettke - this book
deserves to find a ready audience across the economics spectrum.
