If you're so smart - Donald N. McCloskey

the narrative of economic expertise

KORTE INHOUD

In this witty, accessible and revealing book, Donald N. McCloskey demystifies economic theory and practice to show that behind the economist's claim to certainty is the ancient art of storytelling. 'If you're so smart' will engage, enlighten, and empower anyone trying to evaluate the experts who stand ready to engineer your lives.
"Writing with delicious wit and great seriousness."
(Publishers Weekly)
"McCloskey's book is fun to read: lively and fast-spaced and dazzling in the variety of references he uses. It is also an honest book, one which should stimulate some genuine critical thought about economics both within the profession and outside of it."
(Robert E. Lucas, Jr., The University of Chicago)
