ABSTRACT

The volumes in this series are linked by a common theme. As the frontispiece to the series proclaims: ‘In contemporary economics the label ‘theory’ has been appropriated by a group that confines itself to largely asocial, ahistorical, mathematical ‘modelling’. Economics as Social Theory thus reclaims the ‘theory’ label, offering a platform for alternative, rigorous, but broader and more critical conceptions of theorising.’
