Is “Mathematical Science” an Oxymoron When Used to Describe Economics?

In: Interpreting Keynes for the 21st Century

Author

  • Paul Davidson

Abstract

In How Economics Became a Mathematical Science, Roy Weintraub has provided a well-written fascinating book that suggests, at least to this reader, why Keynes’s General Theory was shunted to a wrong track and has never had any real impact on the theories and models proposed by rigorous mainstream economic theorists.
