The Puzzle of Modern Economics: Science or Ideology?
Backhouse, Roger E. (University of Birmingham)
Does economics hold the key to everything or does the recent financial crisis show that it has failed? The answer is somewhere in between - economics can do some things well but does others badly. Economists have tried to make their discipline scientific, but ideology has not been eliminated.
