Introduction

Warren Samuels

A chapter in Essays on the Methodology and Discourse of Economics, 1992, pp 1-8 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Considered as an intellectual discipline, economics constitutes, in part, a set of efforts at knowing what the economy, or economic life, is all about. But ‘knowing’ is not a simple and straightforward matter. All sorts of questions and complications arise in comprehending precisely what it is and what it is not that one ‘knows’ when one has knowledge about economic life.
