Excellent- More about Value, Historicity, and Economic Epistemology: An Archaeology of Economic Science
This book explores the evolution of economic science and its seminal systems, challenging the notion of progress and highlighting the hybrid nature of epistemes. It argues that mainstream economics solves problems within a "normal science" paradigm without questioning its epistemological foundations.

This book aims to explore the evolution of economic science, drawing from an epistemological and historical perspective. In contemporary mainstream economics, problems are addressed within the framework of "normal science," without questioning the epistemological underpinnings that support the paradigm within which they were conceived. Contrary to a Neoclassical interpretation, the historicist perspective reveals that the incommensurability of different paradigms makes it impossible to conceive of long-term progress in economic science.
Through an analysis of various economic schools of thought, this book ultimately demonstrates that there is no pure form of episteme or system of understanding. Each concrete episteme in the history of economic thought is inherently hybrid, incorporating components from preceding systems of knowledge.
This exploration highlights the dynamic and interconnected nature of economic thought, as well as the challenges inherent in seeking to establish a universal or pure episteme. It underscores the importance of recognizing the historical and contextual factors that shape economic ideas and the need for a nuanced understanding of the complex interplay between different paradigms.
By examining the evolution of economic science through an epistemological lens, this book offers valuable insights into the development of economic theory and its impact on society. It encourages readers to critically evaluate the assumptions and foundations of economic thought and to explore alternative perspectives that may challenge the dominant paradigms.
