Is “Mathematical Science” an Oxymoron When Used to Describe Economics?

Paul Davidson

Chapter 17 in Interpreting Keynes for the 21st Century, 2007, pp 190-207 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In How Economics Became a Mathematical Science, Roy Weintraub has provided a well-written fascinating book that suggests, at least to this reader, why Keynes’s General Theory was shunted to a wrong track and has never had any real impact on the theories and models proposed by rigorous mainstream economic theorists.
