Críticas:
The importance of McCloskey s work cannot be overstated. "Quarterly Journal of Speech"" McCloskey s target is the pretentious scientism in which economists couch their mutual persuasions a scientism that lingers on as the near-official language of economics discourse long after its inadequacies have been recognized by philosophers and scientists. "New York Review of Books"" McCloskey must be credited with the singular achievement of introducing the major philosophers of the twentieth century into a discussion of the methodology of economics. "Times Literary Supplement"" McCloskey takes aim at the dismal science s scientific pretensions in this pathfinding, elegantly written, and intellectually razor-sharp book. "Washington Post"" The most thoughtful book on economics in years. "Philadelphia Enquirer"" "The most thoughtful book on economics in years."--"Philadelphia Enquirer" "McCloskey's target is the pretentious scientism in which economists couch their mutual persuasions--a scientism that lingers on as the near-official language of economics discourse long after its inadequacies have been recognized by philosophers and scientists."--"New York Review of Books" "McCloskey takes aim at the 'dismal science's' scientific pretensions in this pathfinding, elegantly written, and intellectually razor-sharp book."--"Washington Post" "McCloskey must be credited with the singular achievement of introducing the major philosophers of the twentieth century into a discussion of the methodology of economics."--"Times Literary Supplement" "The importance of McCloskey's work cannot be overstated."--"Quarterly Journal of Speech" "McCloskey must be credited with the singular achievement of introducing the major philosophers of the twentieth century into a discussion of the methodology of economics."--"Times Literary Supplement" "McCloskey takes aim at the 'dismal science's' scientific pretensions in this pathfinding, elegantly written, and intellectually razor-sharp book."--"Washington Post" "The most thoughtful book on economics in years."--"Philadelphia Enquirer"
Reseña del editor:
In this revised second edition, Deirdre McCloskey demonstrates how economic discourse employs metaphor, authority, symmetry and other rhetorical means of persuasion. "The Rhetoric of Economics" shows economists to be human persuaders and poets of the marketplace, even in their most technical and mathematical moods. It is further enhanced by three new chapters and two new bibliographies.
