Why is Economics not an Evolutionary Science?

Thorstein Veblen, a notorious economist from the late 19th century, reveals how stuck western civilization has been when it comes to the issue of economic development, and whether economics has anything to do with human development. Veblen's Why Is Economics Not an Evolutionary Science by Veblen follows the late 19th century tradition, which obviously predates social media drama, of utilizing academic, journalistic and printed writing as a vehicle for public debates and vitriol. He was an insider from the academic world of economics that showed that the foundations of the principles of this field, "monetary theory," are quite pathetic. Especially when compared to natural sciences.Bilingual book, Portuguese/English. 11x18cm, 124 pages.
