Book Review: M. Gorazda, Ł. Hardt, T. Kwarciński, Metaeconomics

“

Metaeconomics is an outstanding work not because it finds the best new solutions to the key issues in the dispute within the frameworks of the philosophy of science and the philosophy of economics referring to the nature of the economic world, the possibilities and limitations in acquiring knowledge of that world, the methods of learning about the economic world, the role of models, the significance of causality, the role of facts and judgments, the understanding of rationality, the comprehension of the effectiveness and welfare, and the significance of ethics in economic behaviour. A fundamental merit of this book is the correct identification of what constitutes the essence of the philosophy of economics. This is accompanied by a competent, considerate, well structured, erudite presentation and assessment of the issues discussed. It demonstrates the pluralism of approaches and a well-balanced attitude to their evaluation which deserves special attention.
