Finance theory is based on the functionalist paradigm and for the most part finance theorists are unaware of the philosophical tradition to which they belong. By offering an overview of the four paradigms, Ardalan's work offers a concise understanding of the multifaceted nature of finance.Alternative voices in contemporary economics.FinanceStudy and teaching (Higher)Paradigms (Social sciences)FinanceStudy and teaching (Higher)Paradigms (Social sciences)332.071/183.50bclArdalan Kavous921511MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782478703321On the role of paradigms in finance3717810UNINA
