Weintraub's Aims: A Brief Rejoinder

Alexander Rosenberg

Economics and Philosophy, 1987, vol. 3, issue 1, 143-144

Abstract: Weintraub is not really interested in whether economics is “science” or not. “Economists are not so unsophisticated as to think that calling economics a ‘science’ says anything about what economists do or should do” (1987, p. 140). But can it really be a matter of indifference to him whether the subject has the character of chemistry as opposed to literary criticism?
