Reviews
'The idea of a Grounded Economics is an important corrective to economics' long history of excessive abstraction. This book makes a significant contribution to this in its thoughtful analysis of economic agency, and particularly in its argument that agents can transform the worlds they occupy. Strongly recommended - an innovative, original examination of the foundations of economic science.' John B. Davis, University of Amsterdam and Marquette University
"‘The idea of a Grounded Economics is an important corrective to economics’ long history of excessive abstraction. This book makes a significant contribution to this in its thoughtful analysis of economic agency, and particularly in its argument that agents can transform the worlds they occupy. Strongly recommended – an innovative, original examination of the foundations of economic science.’ John B. Davis, University of Amsterdam and Marquette University ""This intellectually stimulating book outlines the research program of a praxeological Grounded Economics as an alternative for the mainstream economic science. It suggests to understand economics as an unfolding social process of sensemaking and introduces methods to deal with this process scientifically. This is an important and timely endeavour. The book is recommended to anyone who aims to change the research and teaching in economics."" Prof. Dr. Ekaterina Svetlova, University of Twente ""What if we looked at the economy not through the impoverished framework of calculative rationality, but if we took seriously the economy as a process of collective sense-making and unfolding? What would the discipline of economics look like then? This book offers an opportunity to explore what a refreshed perspective on the connection between economics and the lifeworld could look like. I strongly endorse this book to all those involved in heterodox economics, political economy, science studies, and economic sociology."" Prof. Dr. Robert Lepenies, Karlshochschule"
