Seduced and Abandoned:Obfuscation in Economics

Craig Freedman

in World Scientific Books from World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte. Ltd.

Abstract: Though transparency and clarity are essential for the advance of any discipline, economics is often bogged down both on the side of the reader and writer. Like clots in the bloodstream, communication blockages can act to stall and divert economic understanding. Consequently, economists who fail to effectively communicate with one another will be unlikely to speak clearly to the general public. This volume examines four methods that tend to block (or obfuscate) vital flows of communication.
