Understanding Economics as a Science
Marcel Boumans and

Founders of Scottish Economics 1700–1900
Donald Rutherford,
University of Edinburgh,

of contributors, and
contributions to,
economic theory and
policy in Scotland from
1700 to 1900.’ - Sheila
Dow, University of
Stirling, UK
‘This is an excellent
book that goes beyond
being a textbook. It
is a contribution in
synthesizing issues
in methodology of
economics.’ - Sohrab
Behdad, and John E.
Harris, Denison
University, USA
Like other sciences, the study of economics has
been shaped by rigorous arguments and debates
that continue to influence economists today. In

and forms of explanation that underlie economics as
a discipline.

inheritance.’ - Lars Magnusson, Professor of

History, Uppsala University, Sweden
