"A serious reconsideration of the 'economics of science' is long overdue," say Philip Mirowski and Esther-Mirjam Sent in the introduction to Science Bought and Sold. Indeed, it is only recently that one could speak of a field of economics of science at all. Although it has long been accepted that economics can provide useful tools with which to understand science, economics has only lately shifted its focus to the economic agent as information processor, making it more broadly applicable to science. Bringing together central themes in this emerging discipline, the editors have assembled important articles that provide a wider context and background against which the economics of science can be evaluated. Roughly one-third of the essays presented here are original papers, and the rest are critical articles previously published in the field. From essays examining economic welfare to the idea of scientists as agents to the digital aspects of higher education,Science Bought and Sold presents a comprehensive overview of the new directions of this expanding area.Contributors: Kenneth J.

Inspired by recent developments in science studies, this book offers an innovative type of analysis of the recent history of rational expectations economics. In the course of exploring the multiple dimensions of rational expectations analysis, Professor Sent focuses on the work of Thomas Sargent, an instrumental pioneer in the development of this school of thought. The investigation attempts to avoid a Whiggish history that sees Sargent's development as inevitably progressing to better and better economic analysis. Instead, it provides an illustration of what happened to the approach through a contextualization of Sargent's work vis-á-vis that of other scholars and ideas. The treatment aims to illuminate some of the shifting negotiations and alliances that characterize the rise and shift of direction in rational expectations economics. The Evolving Rationality of Rational Expectations won the 1998 Gunnar Myrdal Prize of the European Association for Evolutionary Political Economy for the best monograph on a theme broadly in accord with the EAEPE Theoretical Perspectives.

This edited volume provides an in-depth exploration into the influential work of Wade Hands, examining the changing relationship between methodology and the history of economics in connection with contemporary developments in economics.The papers in this volume fall into four parts, each devoted to an important theme in Wade Hands’ work. The first part explores the influence and scope of Reflection without Rules, capturing the rich debate that the book generated about what guides methodological and philosophical thinking in economics. The second part examines Hands’ research on Paul Samuelson’s economics and the methodological dimensions of Samuelson’s thinking. Part three looks to Hands’ long-standing interest in the philosophical foundations of pragmatist thinking. The final part addresses his more recent research in the methodological import of the emergence of behavioural economics. Together, the contributors show how Hands’ insights in complexity theory, identity, and stratification are key to understanding a reconfigured economic methodology. They also reveal how his willingness to draw from multiple academic disciplines gives us a platform for interrogating mainstream economics and provides the basis for a humane yet scientific alternative.This unique volume will be essential reading for advanced students and researchers across social economics, history of economic thought, economic methodology, political economy, and philosophy of social science.

This book examines how economic knowledge shapes policy and society, challenging readers to consider not whether economics influences the real world, but how—through which models, experts, and institutions, and with what underlying assumptions and power dynamics. Drawing on the history and philosophy of economics, it moves beyond simplistic assessments of success or failure to explore the epistemic, political, ethical, and institutional conditions that grant economic expertise its authority.The chapters trace economic ideas from theory to practice, investigating how models are constructed, negotiated, and deployed across central banks, international organizations, technology firms, and government agencies. Contributors examine the conceptual and institutional assumptions behind economists' interventions and reveal how they can constrain or expand democratic possibilities and human autonomy. The volume asks critical questions: for whom does economics work, and what consequences follow? By attending to historical trajectories and philosophical foundations, this collection offers a nuanced understanding of economics as a deeply embedded social science whose practices, assumptions, and power structures often remain hidden. It illuminates how economic ideas travel, transform, and quietly govern the societies they explain, making visible the complex processes through which technical knowledge becomes political action.Spanning the history and philosophy of economics, political economy, economic methodology, science and technology studies, and critical policy analysis, this volume is essential reading for students, academics, and policymakers in government agencies, central banks, and international organizations.The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Journal of Economic Methodology.
