Making the Case for Equitable Growth: Comments on the 2020 David Gordon Memorial Lecture

Katherine A. Moos

Review of Radical Political Economics, 2020, vol. 52, issue 4, 610-615

Abstract: In this piece, I comment on Heather Boushey’s David Gordon Memorial Lecture at the 2020 Allied Social Science Association meetings in San Diego. I identify the theory of change presented in Boushey’s lecture and discuss it in the context of contemporary economic thought. I argue that Boushey’s theory of change makes an important normative intervention in economics science. I evaluate Boushey’s theory of change from the perspective of philosophy of science as well as drawing on historical evidence.
