The sedition of public choice: variations on the theme of scientific revolutions

Antonio Maria Silveira ()

Brazilian Journal of Political Economy, 1996, vol. 16, issue 1, 38-59

Abstract: Given a significant element of truth in “Public Choice”, a modest element must be found when a similar approach is made to the behavior of economic scientists. Harry Johnson found this in “The Keynesian revolution and the monetarist counter-revolution”. Following him, 1 find more in the Public Choice “Revolution” itself. The basic visions, assumptions and methods of the latter are appraised within its time-space stream. This approach is a complement to the Sociology of Knowledge (Thomas Kuhn), and may be taken as an embryonic Economics of Knowledge (Neoclassical). Requirements for the success of scientific revolutions is the theme. JEL Classification: B21; B31; B4; D72.
