Beskrivning

Utilizing the history of economic theory, this text provides a critical and philosophical survey of the traditional criteria of demarcating science from non-science as it applies to the field of political economy/economics. Also focuses on methods of qualification, model construction, predictive power of theories, graphical representation of theories, and the allegedly scientific psychological laws and principles which economic theory uses as assumptions.
