Book
On the use and misuse of theories and models in mainstream economics / Lars Pålsson Syll.
This collection of previously published and new papers is a major intervention in the on-going debate about the nature and future of economics. Instead of the present deductivist-formalist orientation of mainstream economics. Lars Syll advocated for the adoption of a more pluralist approach to economics, arguing for more realism and relevance with less insistence on mathematical modeling."
