Abstract

The outstanding success story of the social sciences, particularly during the post-Second World War period, has been the rise of the discipline of economics. Not only does economics possess the most comprehensive and mathematically elegant body of theory outside the natural sciences, but also its graduates have come to dominate most public and many private institutions, and have captured the high ground of policy advice given to national governments and international organisations. Economists have become the soothsayers of our age, conjuring up mystical remedies for the economic ills that beset us. And it is a success that has been formally recognised by the Nobel Prize Committee – the only such recognition given to the social sciences.
