Dionysian Economics: Making Economics a Scientific Social Science
ISBN: 9781137597359 / Angielski / Twarda / 283 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Nietzsche distinguished between two forces in art: Apollonian, which represents order and reason, and Dionysian, which represents chaos and energy. Economists, Ward argues, have operated for too long under the assumption that their work reflects the scientific, Apollonian principals that inform physics when they simply do not apply to economics: 'constants' in economics stand in for variables, and the core scientific principles of prediction and replication are all but ignored by economists. Ward encourages economists to reintegrate the standard rigor of the scientific method into their work...

Principles of Economics for a Post-Meltdown World
ISBN: 9783319278278 / Angielski / Miękka / 94 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

In other words, the standard economics principles textbook is anachronistic, they assume that tastes are exogenous, they overlook...
