First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. FIRST EDITION. Original cloth. Near Fine, without dust jacket. Pp. 3-43: 'Methodology of Positive Economics'. This is the first appearance of this essay; it was not first published in a journal. 'The most famous methodological piece within twentieth century economics is Milton Friedman's 'Methodology of Positive Economics'. This piece is taken to advocate prediction-ism as the most important goal for and criterion of the success of economic theories' (Eric Schliesser, 'The Stigler-Kuhn Correspondence and the Philosophical Prehistory of Prediction in Chicago Economics', abstract). 'Milton Friedman's 1953 essay 'The methodology of positive economics' remains the most cited, influential, and controversial piece of methodological writing in twentieth-century economics. Since its appearance, the essay has shaped the image of economics as a scientific discipline, both within and outside of the academy. At the same time, there has been an ongoing controversy over the proper interpretation and normative evaluation of the essay. Perceptions have been sharply divided, with some viewing economics as a scientific success thanks to its adherence to Friedman's principles, others taking it as a failure for the same reason. In this book, a team of world-renowned experts in the methodology of economics cast new light on Friedman's methodological arguments and practices from a variety of perspectives. It provides the 21st century reader with an invaluable assessment of the impact and contemporary significance of Friedman's seminal work' (Web entry for Uskali Mäki, ed., The Methodology of Positive Economics: Reflections on the Milton Friedman Legacy, Cambridge University Press, 2009).
