Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. A very good or even better than very good hardback copy with just couple of corners slightly scuffed, hence a non-text page is stamped damaged and so now for sale at a special bargain price. Despite such, this book is actually in very decent shape, and appears unread. Seller Inventory # 119389

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The profession of academic economics has been widely criticized for being excessively dependent on technical models based on unrealistic assumptions about rationality and individual behavior, and yet it remains a sparsely studied area. This volume presents a series of background readings on the profession by leading scholars in the history of economic thought and economic methodology. Adopting a fresh critique, the contributors investigate the individual incentives prevalent in academic economics, describing economists as rational actors who react to their intellectual environment and the incentives for economic research. Timely topics are addressed, including the financial crisis and the consequences for the discipline, as well as more traditional themes such as pluralism in research, academic organizations, teaching methodology, gender issues and professional ethics. This collection will appeal to scholars working on topics related to economic methodology and the teaching of economics. In this volume, leading scholars investigate the profession of academic economics. The book addresses timely topics such as the consequences of the financial crisis on the discipline, as well as pluralism in research, academic organizations, teaching methodology, gender issues and professional ethics. Its interdisciplinary approach will attract a broad readership. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
