Persuasive devices

Cambridge Journal of Economics, 2006, vol. 30, issue 4, 613-635

Abstract: This paper addresses the devices by which we persuade in the discipline--to produce and reproduce representations of economies that focus on atomistic individuals, freedom of choice and closed systems. By means of these devices we erase from our perceptual field those characteristics of the economic realm that consider elements of the social nature of individuals, open system thinking, relationality and relative power, including the influence played by income and wealth distribution.
