Intersubjectivity in Economics Agents and Structures

All the contributions of this book share the same theoretical conviction: if we want to understand economic interactions, we need to go beyond the opportunistic and superficial approach that has dominated the discipline for half a century or more. The result of the book is full of promises for the future. Andrè Orlèan, Ã0cole Normale Supèrieure /CEPREMAP Edward Fullbrook has edited an excellent set of essays in which economic concepts are debated in terms of their intellectual significance. The authors show a rare capacity to use, in clear language, the most advanced outcomes of economic theory. In this way they develop a critique that touches upon the very assumptions sustaining the body of conventional economics. Human needs and desires emerge as stronger concepts than the notion of commodities based utility.
