  • More about Uplift in Economics: A Plea for the Exclusion of Moral Implications from Economics and the Political Sciences

Uplift in Economics is a 1929 book that argues against the influence of moral judgment in social science research, prioritizing scientific temper and empirical facts. It is of interest to students of economics, political science, psychology, philosophy, and history.

Format: Hardback
Length: 102 pages
Publication date: 01 June 2022
Publisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd


First published in 1929, Uplift in Economics is a self-proclaimed propaganda against the influence of moral judgment in social science research. The author argues that while the development of mankind is an honorable goal of economics and political science, the understanding and the execution of such development should not be marred by the moral beliefs of the researcher. Instead, priority should be given to scientific temper and empirical facts while carrying out any research. Over the years, the binary of reason and feeling has been replaced with a negotiation of the two; however, it is interesting to study the treatment of this debate at various points in history. This book will be of interest to students of economics, political science, psychology, philosophy, and history.
