Description:
Books in the increasingly popular economics-made-fun genre present the field of economics as a method of thinking that can successfully explain everyday and "freaky" phenomena. However, economics seems to fail in addressing and explaining the most pressing economic matters. This book explores the confusion created by this contradictory picture of economics. Could a science that cannot answer its own core questions really be used to explain the logic of everyday life? This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Economic Methodology.
