The domestication of the economic mind: A response to the critics

Author

Listed:
  • Francesco Boldizzoni

    (Università degli Studi di Torino, Italy)

Abstract

The paper takes issue with the views expressed by Luis Bértola, Christopher Lloyd and Deirdre McCloskey in their commentaries. Many of the points raised are relevant and worth consideration. However, McCloskey's ill-informed critique is rejected along with her binary opposition between economy and society. There are no laws in economics. Faith in the inborn nature of the market economy is misplaced and due to cognitive distortions. KEY Classification-JEL: N00, N01
