Description:
In this book, Tony Lawson advocates a relignment of economics with social reality - placing ontology at the heart of a discipline integrated within the wider human and social sciences.
Review Quotes:
'Lawson's systematic philosophical work on the reorientation of economics warrants a careful reading by any economist, heterodox or mainstream, who takes seriously the intellectual responsibility for the scientific viability of the discipline.' - Journal of Economic Issues
'Reorienting Economics is an important contribution ... I would recommend it to economists and other scholars interested in methodology, philosophy, and heterodox traditions in economics.' - Feminist Economics
