THE REFORMATION IN ECONOMICS - PHILIP PILKINGTO...

This book carves the beginnings of a new path in the arguably weary discipline of economics. It
combines a variety of perspectives - from the history of ideas to epistemology - in order to
try to understand what has gone so wrong with economics and articulate a coherent way forward.
This is undertaken through a dual path of deconstruction and reconstruction. Mainstream
economics is broken down into many of its key component parts and the history of each of these
parts is scrutinized closely. When the flaws are thoroughly understood the author then begins
the task of reconstruction. What emerges is not a 'Grand Unified Theory of Everything'  but
rather a provisional map outlining a new terrain for economists to explore. The Reformation in
Economics is written in a lively and engaging style that aims less at the formalization of
dogma and more at the exploration of ideas. This truly groundbreaking work invites readers to
rethink their current understanding of economics as a discipline and is particularly relevant
for those interested in economic pluralism and alternative economics.
