This treatise argues that power and ideology lie behind the veil of economics - the power of our economic involvement in society to shape the ways we think about it. The author explains why economics has become the reigning form of social inquiry, and how we may penetrate its mystique.
What lies behind the veil of economics? Power and ideology, answers Robert Heilbroner - the power of our economic involvement in society to shape the ways we think about it; the visions and values that add unsuspected ideological colour to our economic beliefs about it. Most important, Heilbroner shows why economics has become the reigning form of social inquiry and how we might penetrate its mystique.
