Making of the Economy: A Phenomenology of Economic Science (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780739164198)

The Making of the Economy uses Husserl's critique of formalism in natural science in The Crisis of the European Sciences work as the template for an analogous critique of formalism in economic science. The historical narrative focuses on the emergence of formal economic analysis out of a series of successive life-worlds, or concrete historical situations. This generates new substantive understanding of both the historical material and the current discourse of crisis surrounding economics. It will appeal to historians and philosophers of economics, as well as scholars of history, philosophy, and sociology.
