A passionate and informed critique of mainstream economics
from one of the leading economic thinkers of our time
This insightful book looks at how mainstream economics’ quest for scientific
certainty has led to a narrowing of vision and a convergence on an orthodoxy
that is unhealthy for the field, not to mention the societies which base policy
decisions on the advice of flawed economic models. Noted economic thinker
Robert Skidelsky explains the circumstances that have brought about this constriction and proposes an approach to economics which includes philosophy,
history, sociology, and politics.
Skidelsky’s clearly written and compelling critique takes aim at the way that
economics is taught in today’s universities, where a focus on modelling leaves
students ill-equipped to grapple with what is important and true about human
life. He argues for a return to the ideal set out by John Maynard Keynes that the
economist must be a “mathematician, historian, statesman, [and] philosopher”
in equal measure.
作者简介ROBERT SKIDELSKY is emeritus professor of political economy at the University of Warwick. He is the author of many books, including Money and Government: The Past and Future of Economics. He lives in London.
