Die „soziale Frage" more geometrico beantwortet

Mainstream economics tends to view its historical process of mathematicization as a „powerful, irresistible current of thought" (Debreu), perfectly motivated by the application of deductive methodology to a quantified object-domain. This interpretation stands in sharp contrast to the his...
