Philosophy of Economy (Palgrave Philosophy Today)

---

What is economics fundamentally about? Some say 'money'. But that only applies, at a stretch, to macroeoconomics. Other say 'incentivized choices'. Through a review of the history and methodology of economics, with special concentration on the past 60 years, the book shows wahy the second answer is more accurate. But this leads straight into another problem: psychologists study choices too. So how is economics different from psychology? The book explains this by showing how economics is really about groups or populations of people. In clearly distinguishing economics from psychology, the book critizes the current popular wave of behavioural economics, showing how many studies under that label confuse exonomics with psychology. But if economics is avout structures of group response, then how is it different from sociology? The book shows how and why economics and sociology are currently converging, perhaps ultimately to form a single unifed discipline fed by two distinct historical tributaries.
