An Essay On The Nature and Signi Cance of Economic Science - Lionel Robbins
An Essay on the Nature and Significance of Economic Science - FIRST EDITION Possibly the most influential book on economic methodology. "This book by Lionel Robbins first appeared in 1932 as an outstanding English-language statement of the Misesian view of economic method, namely that economics is a social science and must advance its propositions by means of deductive reasoning and not through the methods used in the natural sciences. The case is argued here with patience and attention to scholarly details. The unfortunate second edition of this book, which is more available today, introduces confusions by departing from Austrian microeconomic theory. Thus does the Mises Institute celebrate the 75th anniversary of the first edition with this reprint." - mises.org
