On Hicks’s Causality in Economics: a Review Article

Stephen F. Frowen

Chapter 8 in Business, Time and Thought, 1988, pp 90-103 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The Hicksian vineyard over very many years has yielded a wine of a special and exquisite flavour all its own. Clear and dry, it is a choice companion of the studious hour. No ingredient has been allowed that could grate on a reasoner’s taste for exact lucidity and sharp and definite conclusions. Sir John Hicks hitherto has wished economics to be a precise and rigorous discipline, a science, and has sought to exhibit it as such. But now there has been a change which is not, I think, a mere exploration of further territory not until now surveyed by him, but some transformation of basic sentiments. He seems himself to wish to regard his new book as an addition, not a modification, to his existing body of writings: ‘I came upon [the subject of this book] quite recently and rather suddenly.’
