Review


"Redman...has succeeded wondrously well.... How much time is spent socializing our new members to the ethical standards that we want to define our community enterprise? To ask such questions, as Redman forces us to do, is to enhance our awareness of the activity of what we call 'doing economics'."--Journal of Economic Literature


"The author's command of the literature under review is truly impressive, both in supporting her train of thought with pertinent illustrative material, and in revealing a thorough-going understanding of the writings surveyed.... Her work will stand firmly alongside Bruce J. Caldwell's Beyond Positivism as one of the most widely read and frequently cited sources on the history of economic methodology."--Journal of Economic Issues


"[A] valuable contribution that should be required reading for those interested in economic methodology and related questions.... The book makes the strongest case that has yet been made in the economics literature for Bartley's critical rationalism, and it provides a useful survey of recent methodological writings within the strictly 'philosophy of science' tradition."--Economics and Philosophy


"Highly recommended for undergraduate and graduate collections. Indeed, the text accounts for less than half the book; the superb documentation and splendid bibliography that fill the remaining pages should, of themselves, justify acquisition of the volume."--Choice


"A scintillating monograph, a splendid survey of the literature, and a thought-provoking essay on the current state of economics."--Mark Blaug, University of London
