Ben Fine: Economics Imperialism and Interdisciplinarity, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Blurb

In Economics Imperialism and Interdisciplinarity: Before the Watershed, visionary economist Ben Fine offers a selection of his key articles charting the rise of economics imperialism. Each article is accompanied by a preamble that sets the context in which it appeared, providing an overall introduction that draws out the lasting significance for contemporary scholarship.

Ranging over mainstream and heterodox economics, the disputes between them, the relationship between economics and other disciplines, and thinkers as diverse as Kuhn, Becker and Bourdieu, the collection offers a unique and compelling account of how mainstream economics has both changed dramatically while its core and narrow principles have remained as sacrosanct as they are invalid. Economics Imperialism is imperative for those engaging in political economy across the social sciences.
