Causal Explanations in Economics. 330 $aThis book offers a vision of economics in which there is no place for universal laws of nature, and even for laws of a more probabilistic character. The author avoids interpreting the practice of economics as something that leads to the formulation of universal laws or laws of nature. Instead, chapters in the book follow the method of contemporary philosophy of science: rather than formulating suggestions for practicing scientists of how they should do research, the text describes and interprets the very practice of scientific research. This approach demonstrates how economists can explain economic phenomena not by subsuming them under general laws, but rather by building models of these phenomena, by referring to causes, or even by investigating what is in the nature of given factors, events, or circumstances to produce. 606 $aEconomic history 606 $aPhilosophy and science 606 $aLaw and economics 606 $aHistory of Economic Thought/Methodology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W28000 606 $aPhilosophy of Science$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E34000 606 $aLaw and Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W39000 615 0$aEconomic history. 615 0$aPhilosophy and science. 615 0$aLaw and economics. 615 14$aHistory of Economic Thought/Methodology. 615 24$aPhilosophy of Science. 615 24$aLaw and Economics. 676 $a330.1509 700 $aHardt$b ?ukasz$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0870335 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255044103321 996 $aEconomics Without Laws$91942952 997 $aUNINA
