A Critique of Economics (Classic Reprint): Doctrinal and Methodological: Doctrinal and Methodological (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda
Sinopsis
Foundations of Economic Thought offers a bold, rigorous critique of how economics is built, from valuation to production.
This work presents a methodical restatement of problems in economic science and argues for a disciplined approach to understanding price, distribution, and the laws that guide economic life. It blends historical perspective with a careful analysis of theory, aiming to illuminate how economic ideas have developed as a science. The book is divided into two parts: a critique of core economic principles and a critique of economic methodology. It emphasizes reading the chapters in a specific order and frames the inquiry as tentative and exploratory, rather than final or dogmatic. Expect discussions that connect economic ideas to broader questions about science, inference, and social inquiry, with careful attention to how concepts like value and cost are interpreted.
- A patient, historical look at economics as a science and the beliefs that shaped its early development
- Examination of valuation, price, distribution, and production as central topics
- Discussion of how economic methods relate to inference, law, and causation

Excerpt from A Critique of Economics: Doctrinal and Methodological
In the first place the logic of the principal argument in this book will be broken if its several chapters are not read in the exact order here given. Any departure may lead to misunderstandings with regard to a particular problem.
In the second place the approach here made is tentative, and not by any means categorical, in spite of a rather positive tone here or there. It is virtually impossible to preserve at all times the interrogatory form, however great our desire to admit the subjective nature of all inquiry, and especially of a critique of economics passing through a transition stage.

Excerpt from A Critique of Economics: Doctrinal and Methodological
On account of recent developments in philosophy and science we are today again confronted with the important question as to whether economics is really a science or only a study of values akin to philosophy proper. If economics is a science comparable to physics or chemistry, for example, applications in both private and public life may be possible ; if not, the practical value of economic research must be slight, whatever our interest in it on other grounds.
This book is an attempt mainly to show in what sense economics may be called a science, and what changes seem necessary to bring it into harmony with current facts and concepts in allied fields. The first part is entirely critical, following other writers who have broken with either Utilitarian (classical and neo-classical) or Marginal economics, or with both. It deals with the errors of the old psychology on which economic theorizing until recently was based, and supports the well-known contention that economic laws so far have been not so much laws as proofs derived from certain more or less arbitrary assumptions. To this extent then the first part goes over familiar ground and leads simply to a negation.
The second part, however, is meant to be more than a criticism.
