Behind the Veil of Economics: Essays in the Worldly Philosophy
New York: W.W. Norton (1988)
Abstract
Professor Heilbroner shows why economics has become the reigning form of social inquiry, and how we might penetrate its mystique. He explores aspects of the "regime-like" character of capitalism and its historic position today; the meaning of work and value; and the manner in which the social visions of the "worldly philosophers" affect their economic analyses.
