A History of the Modern Fact

More about the book

Exploring the intersection of economics and philosophy, the book delves into the evolution of modern economic thought through various lenses, including the role of double-entry bookkeeping and mercantile expertise. It examines the political implications of economic theories, particularly in relation to Irish land, and critiques the transition from conjectural history to political economy. Additionally, it highlights the challenges of induction and the lingering effects of providentialism in shaping contemporary economic science. The work is structured into thematic chapters, each addressing a unique aspect of this complex relationship.
