M. Balder Thoughts that led to the creation of this journal ".
. . economics has become increasingly an arcane branch of mathematics rather
than dealing with real economic problems" Milton Friedman " [Economics as taught] in America's graduate
schools... bears testimony to a triumph of ideology over science.” "Existing economics is a theoretical [meaning mathematical]
system which floats in the air and which bears little relation to what
happens in the real world” Ronald Coase " We live in an uncertain and ever-changing world
that is continually evolving in new and novel ways. Standard theories are of little help in
this context. Attempting to understand
economic, political and social change requires a fundamental recasting of the
way we think” Douglass North "Page after page of professional economic journals
are filled with mathematical formulas […] Year after year economic theorists
continue to produce scores of mathematical models and to explore in great
detail their formal properties; and the econometricians fit algebraic
functions of all possible shapes to essentially the same sets of data” Wassily Leontief " Today if you ask a mainstream economist a
question about almost any aspect of economic life, the response will be:
suppose we model that situation and see what happens…modern mainstream
economics consists of little else but examples of this process” Robert Solow "Economics is supposed to be social science,
i.e. an intellectual discipline resting upon empirically-observed facts, in
which mathematics and conceptual frameworks are tools for
understanding. But in contemporary mainstream economics, the tools are
often in the driver's seat, declaring evident facts impossible and reducing
the subtleties of the real world to whatever clockwork economists best
know how to build." Ian
Fletcher "Modern
economics is sick. Economics has increasingly become an intellectual game
played for its own sake and not for its practical consequences for
understanding the economic world. Economists have converted the subject into
a sort of social mathematics in which analytical rigour is everything and
practical relevance is nothing.” " . . . the close to monopoly position of
neoclassical economics is not compatible with normal ideas about
democracy. Economics is science in
some senses, but is at the same time ideology. Limiting economics to the neoclassical
paradigm means imposing a serious ideological limitation. Departments of economics become political
propaganda centers . . .” " Economics students . . . graduate from
Masters and PhD programs with an effectively vacuous understanding of
economics, no appreciation of the intellectual history of their discipline,
and an approach to mathematics that hobbles both their critical understanding
of economics and their ability to appreciate the latest advances in
mathematics and other sciences. A
minority of these ill-informed students themselves go on to be academic
economists, and they repeat the process.
Ignorance is perpetuated” Steve
Keen " The human economy has passed from an
“empty world” era in which human-made capital was the limiting factor in
economic development to the current “full world” era in which remaining
natural capital has become the limiting factor “ Robert
Costanza "Most courses deal with an ‘imaginary
world,’ and have no link whatsoever with concrete problems.” " All of these textbooks fail to explain how
prices are determined in ‘markets’’ and thus how markets work. Where do prices come from? Who determines them? How do they fluctuate? These questions are never addressed, even
though it is through the price mechanism that the ‘invisible hand’ is
supposed to operate.” " . . . mainstream economists seek knowledge
through numbers to stop the messy reality of people, processes and politics
dirtying their invisible hands.” " Multinationals are everywhere except in
economic theories and economics departments.” Grazia
Ietto-Gillies “. . . the
economist must engage him or herself as a citizen with convictions regarding
the public good and ways of treating it, rather than as the holder of
universal truth that he or she substitutes for discussion in order to impose
it on us all.”
" There is an urgent need for a more
realistic economics of the environment, with theories and analyses that can
help to create environmentally sustainable economic activity.” Frank
Ackerman "Modern economics is not very successful as
an explanatory endeavour. This much is accepted by most serious commentators
on the discipline, including many of its most prominent exponents” Tony
Lawson " Because mathematics has swamped the
curricula in leading universities and graduate schools, student economists
are neither encouraged nor equipped to analyze real
world economies and institutions.” Geoffrey
M. Hodgson " . . . the concepts of uneconomic growth,
accumulating illth, and unsustainable scale have to be incorporated in
economic theory if it is to be capable of expressing what is happening in the
world. This is what ecological economists are trying to do.” Herman
E. Daly " The application of mathematics to
economics has proved largely unsuccessful because it is based on a misleading
analogy between economics and physics. Economics would do much better to
model itself on another very successful area, namely medicine, and, like much
of medicine, to adopt a qualitative causal methodology.” Donald
Gillies " Economic history courses have been disappearing
from classrooms across the world. Once a compulsory part of economics
education, they have been relegated to the remote corners of ‘options’ and
even closed down.” Ha-Joon
Chang " In Smith is a forgotten lesson that the
foundation of success in creating a constructive classical liberal society
lies in the individuals’ adherence to a common social ethics. According to
Smith, virtue serves as ‘the fine polish to the wheels of society’ while vice
is ‘like the vile rust, which makes them jar and grate upon one another.’
Indeed, Smith sought to distance his thesis from that of Mandeville and the
implication that individual greed could be the basis for social good. Smith’s
deistic universe might not sit well with those of post-enlightenment sensibilities,
but his understanding that virtue is a prerequisite for a desirable market
society remains an important lesson. For Smith ethics is the hero-not
self-interest or greed-for it is ethics that defend social intercourse from
the Hobbesian chaos.” Charles
K. Wilber ". . . conventional economics . . . remains
fixated on the view that economics is the physics of society. In other words, most of the profession
behaves as if there were a single universally valid view of the world that
needs only to be applied.” Paul
