False Prophets of Economics Imperialism

False Prophets of Economics Imperialism

Matthew Watson

AGENDA PUBLISHING
2024
sidottu
This book studies the methodological revolution that has resulted in economists’ mathematical market models being exported across the social sciences. The ensuing process of economics imperialism has struck fear into subject specialists worried that their disciplinary knowledge will subsequently count for less. Yet even though mathematical market models facilitate important abstract thought experiments, they are no substitute for carefully contextualised empirical investigations of real social phenomena. The two exist on completely different ontological planes, producing very different types of explanation. In this deeply researched and wide-ranging intellectual history, Matthew Watson surveys the evolution of modern economics and its modelling methodology. With its origins in Jevons and Robbins and its culmination in Samuelson, Arrow and Debreu, he charts the escape from reality that has allowed economists’ hypothetical mathematical models to speak to increasingly self-referential mathematical truths. These are shown to perform badly as social truths, consequently imposing strict epistemic limits on economics imperialism. The book is a formidable analysis of the epistemic limitations of modern-day economics and marks a significant counter to its methodology’s encroachment across the wider social sciences.

Not My Own: Deep Devotional is a book for those who want to go deeper into God's Word, but find themselves in a position where the time or the ability to do all of their own background study is limited for them. This book synthesizes the study that has been completed and presents it to the reader. The end result of this process produces challenged convictions and the reader asking deeper questions of themselves and their heart behind actions. For the past decade Matthew has been enriching his study of the word and how to practice living it out. He has grabbed from the writings and teachings of different individuals from the early church and has come up with the 5 S's. These five S's are as follows: Study, Significance, Survey, Supplication, and Solicitation. This method has proven effective and allows for Scripture to mean what it has always meant, while seeking to understand what that translates to in an individual's life. There comes a time where understanding the do's and don'ts of Scripture isn't enough and the Spirit of God shows us that the requirement that the Lord has for His disciples is so much greater. Will you accept the call to have a deeper devotion and allegiance to the Lord?

Halvin toimitettuna 41,80 €

We have become accustomed to economists and politicians talking about “market forces” as if they are immutable laws of the universe. But what exactly is “the market”? Originally an abstract idea from economic theory – the locus of supply and demand – it has come to inform the way we speak about our relationship to the economic system as a whole. Matthew Watson unpacks the concept to ask what does it really mean to allow ourselves to submit to market forces. And does economic theory really provide insights into the market institutions that shape our everyday life? In tackling these questions, the book provides a major contribution to a deeper appreciation of the dominant economic language of our time, challenging the idea that we can simply defer to the “logic of the market”.

Foundations of International Political Economy

Matthew Watson

Red Globe Press
2005

Despite a burgeoning debate on substantive issues in IPE, little attention has been devoted to its theoretical foundations. In this important new text, Matthew Watson reviews the main current theoretical approaches to IPE and highlights the problems that arise from treating 'states' and 'markets' as separate and contesting units of analysis. Foremost among these problems is the lack of attention given to theorizing the constitution of the individual as both an economic agent and a moral being.
