Description
In recent years, the field of economic methodology has expanded and become popular among economists. This book brings together ten previously published essays by one of the leading practitioners in this emerging field. The general theme is the application of Karl Popper's philosophy of science to economics-not only Popper himself but also other members of the 'Popperian school.'
