| Sommario/riassunto: | This book, authored by Karl Mittermaier, delves into the philosophical underpinnings of economics, focusing on the role of subjectivism within economic theory and methodology. It critiques mainstream economics and positivist approaches, advocating for a realist perspective that emphasizes the relationship between theory and empirical content. The text also explores the historical evolution of economic thought, including the contributions of figures like Carl Menger and Austrian economics. Geared towards academics and researchers in economics and philosophy, the book aims to provide a deeper understanding of how subjective elements influence economic analysis and decision-making, while challenging conventional paradigms and methodologies. |
