{"product_id":"on-the-use-and-misuse-lars-palsson-syll-9781848901841","title":"On the use and misuse of theories and models in mainstream economics","description":"This collection of previously published and new papers is a major intervention in the on-going debate about the nature and future of economics. Instead of the present deductivist-formalist orientation of mainstream economics, Lars Syll advocates for the adoption of a more pluralist approach to economics, arguing for more realism and relevance with less insistence on mathematical modeling. This challenging and thought-provoking book will prove a stimulating read for researchers, academics and students of economics interested in the methodology and philosophy of economics. Lars P lsson Syll received a PhD in Economic History in 1991 and a PhD in Economics in 1997. Since 2004 he is Professor of Social Science at Malm  University, Sweden. \"A wonderful set of clearly written and highly informative essays by a scholar who is knowledgeable, critical and sharp enough to see how things really are in the discipline, and honest and brave enough to say how things are. A must read especially for those truly concerned and\/or puzzled about the state of modern economics.\" - Tony Lawson, Cambridge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lars Palsson Syll\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1848901844\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781848901841\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e College Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/08\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.39d","brand":"Lars Palsson Syll","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44125480845567,"sku":"9781848901841","price":26.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_998bc3e4-9a63-4ecf-991c-46799844b483.jpg?v=1687442873","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/on-the-use-and-misuse-lars-palsson-syll-9781848901841","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
