Deirdre N. McCloskey

    Deirdre Nansen McCloskey est reconnue pour ses écrits influents qui explorent les interactions entre les idées, l'économie et le progrès sociétal. Ses analyses examinent comment les normes économiques et culturelles ont évolué au fil de l'histoire pour comprendre comment elles enrichissent le monde. Elle met l'accent sur la puissance de l'ingéniosité et de l'innovation humaines plutôt que sur la simple accumulation de capital ou les cadres institutionnels.

      W książce zatytułowanej Przedsiębiorcze państwo Mariana Mazzucato broni tezy, że państwowa ingerencja jest niezbędnym elementem na drodze do rozwoju gospodarczego. Przedstawia ona rozumowanie mające wyjaśniać, w jaki sposób centralne planowanie pomaga gospodarce, oraz przedstawia przykłady mające popierać jej teorię. Autorzy Mitu Przedsiębiorczego Państwa zwracają uwagę na błędy w etatystycznym rozumowaniu. McCloskey i Mingardi podkreślają, że teoria o konieczności ingerencji państwa w rozwój gospodarczy jest błędna, a przykłady przedstawiane na jej poparcie w rzeczywistości pokazują coś zupełnie innego. Para naukowców rozprawia się z narracją Mazzucato wskazując na jej niespójność z faktami historycznymi i tendencyjny charakter. Jak w rzeczywistości wyglądał udział państwa w tworzeniu takich projektów, jak m.in. Internet? Odpowiedź na to i inne pytania znajduje się w książce.

      Introduction The Argument in Brief -- Economics Is in Scientific Trouble -- An Antique, Unethical, and Badly Measured Behaviorism Doesn't Yield Good Economic Science or Good Politics -- Economics Needs to Get Serious about Measuring the Economy -- The Number of Unmeasured "Imperfections" Is Embarrassingly Long -- Historical Economics Can Measure Them, Showing Them to Be Small -- The Worst of Orthodox Positivism Lacks Ethics and Measurement -- Neoinstitutionalism Shares in the Troubles -- Even the Best of Neoinstitutionalism Lacks Measurement -- And "Culture," or Mistaken History, Will Not Repair It -- That Is, Neoinstitutionalism, Like the Rest of Behavioral Positivism, Fails as History and as Economics -- As It Fails in Logic and in Philosophy -- Neoinstitutionalism, in Short, Is Not a Scientific Success -- Humanomics Can Save the Science -- But It's Been Hard for Positivists to Understand Humanomics -- Yet We Can Get a Humanomics -- And Although We Can't Save Private Max U -- We Can Save an Ethical Humanomics.

      "In Bettering Humanomics: A New and Old Approach to Economic Science, Deirdre Nansen McCloskey offers a critique of contemporary economics and a proposal for a better humanomics. McCloskey argues for an economic science that accepts the models and mathematics, the statistics and experiments of the current orthodoxy, but also attests to the immense amount we can still learn about human nature and the economy. From observing human actions in social contexts, to the various understandings attained by studying history, philosophy, and literature, McCloskey presents the myriad ways in which we think about life and how we justify and understand our actions in a synergistically human approach towards economic theory and practice"-- Provided by publisher

      "Deirdre McCloskey is one of our best-known economic historians and an advocate for free market capitalism and the power of ideas in shaping our economy. Leave Me Alone and I'll Make You Rich collects the provocative arguments put forward by McCloskey in a trilogy published by the Press that mounts a vigorous defense of capitalism as told through the story of the rise of the bourgeois. Co-authored with Art Carden, Leave Me Alone and I'll Make You Rich is a libertarian take on economic development and the role of government and, indeed, tells a different story of market expansion and democratization than that of Thomas Piketty or Joseph Stiglitz. Carden and McCloskey succinctly demonstrate the power of new technologies and new ideas about democracy, liberty, and dignity for all people in fueling economic growth and prosperity in modernizing Europe"-- Provided by publisher

      Aj vďaka knihám ako Freakonomics už ekonómia nie je dávno iba suchopárnou vedou. V našich zemepisných šírkach však chýbala podobná publikácia, ktorá by pracovala aj s domácimi reáliami. Po dvoch knihách rozhovorov so známymi ekonómami Lukáš Kovanda napísal knihu, kde v štyridsiatich kapitolách vtipným a prístpuným spôsobom skĺbil ekonómiou s psychológiou, sociológiou či antropológiou. Veľa o jeho štýle písania napovedajú už samotné názvy kapitol, ako: - Prečo sú tučné dievčatá prístupnejšie na rizikový sex - Prečo ľudí tak veľmi zaujíma, koľko zarábajú ostatní - Prečo sú Facebook, Google aj Apple americké, a nie japonské - Prečo slabé odbory môžu za exodus banánov do celého sveta - Prečo samoľúbosť zarába a vzdelaní ľudia žijú lacnejšie

      For a century and a half artists and intellectuals of Europe have scorned the bourgeoisie. Applying a tradition of virtue ethics to our lives in modern economies, this title affirms American capitalism without ignoring its faults and celebrates the bourgeois lives we live, without supposing that they must be lives without ethical foundations.

      This essential book, now available in paperback, collects the writings of Deirdre McCloskey on economic history and the rhetoric of economics. The essays have been presented to show McCloskey's evolution over time: from economist to critic, positivist to postmodernist, conventional economist to feminist economist, man to woman. Measurement and Meaning in Economics allows the reader to experience an astonishing personal and intellectual journey with one of today's most fascinating economists. McCloskey argues that economics has become a historical and narrowly scientific, which is a harmful development for a moral science. In all of the papers presented in this volume she writes with historical consciousness and critical understanding in an attempt to repair the dysfunctional relationship between economics and the humanities. This book should be read not only by students and scholars of economic history and philosophy, but by all those concerned with the state of economics and its place in the social sciences.
