"Economics and postmodernism?! Yes: and so it should be. If 'postmodernism' is taken to mean in economics, 'something beyond Samuelsonianism c. 1948, ' then the field certainly needs a big dose of it. Ruccio and Amariglio are Marxists, but I am inclined to forgive them this peculiarity (and anyway they do it in a very rethinking--Marxism way), since they write like angels and think like angels, too. This is the real thing. Bringing economics--kicking and screaming--into the twenty-first century."--Deirdre N. McCloskey, author of The Secret Sins of Economics"This is an excellent and important book. All of the chapters are very good, but the first chapter is truly outstanding. It is the best discussion of 'postmodernism in economics' anywhere in the literature."--D. Wade Hands, author of Reflection without Rules"Forthright, concisely argued, engaging, and provocative, this book provides a critical commentary on the appearance of postmodern ideas in economic thought. But it is much more besides. There is currently no other text that brings together the material assembled here and that lends it coherence, while also pointing to the research agenda inscribed within it. The authors provide an informed guide to past and recent developments in the economic literature, but they also reveal a terrain littered with neglected challenges and unrealized but potentially productive projects."--Judith Mehta, Open University, United Kingdom
