Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the intricate relationship between economics and mental sciences, delving into two contrasting approaches to scientific inquiry. The author argues that when analyzing economic questions, we can either follow the methods of physics, employing observation and experiment, or adopt the methods of mental sciences, which involve introspection and the analysis of language. The author maintains that the popular use of language is a valuable tool for understanding economic concepts, and that appealing to common usage can serve as a valid test of truth in economic theory.
