To what extent is the work of philosophers such as Popper, Kuhn, Lakatos and Feyerabend useful in forming a critical judgement of modern economic practice?
Instructions:
The focus of this essay is to make a critique of modern economic practice . NOT summary of each of the philosophers mentioned. A critique on how economics is practised today. An example would be the way economic models are unrealisic now, how emperical research is done, how it is taught ( institutionalised) and then critically analyse why and how and then link it in with an author mentioned because he talks about that also.
