pdf The Coase Theorem: A Study in Economic Epistemology مجانا للكاتب غاري نورث
This is a book. It is not a scholarly article. Therefore, if Kuhn’s comment is correct (and I believe it is), then the reader ought to conclude: (1) North is not trying to advance his pro-fessional career with this booh (2) North has no professional career to advance with this book, (3) North is a crap-shooter with his caree~ (4) economics is not a science; or (5) more than one of the above. Because so few economists have ever heard of me, any economist who stumbles across this book and then bothers to read it will probably prefer the first two choices. I can hardly disagree. But point four has a certain plausibility, at least in the opinion of non-economists. Still, formal discussion in the economics profession is conducted as if economics were a science, so we are driven back to points one through three. In a very real sense, points one, two, and four are the case.
