For many, this is a fundamental failing that severely limits its relevance to the real world and is the source of much dissatisfaction with, and cynicism about, economics and economists. Ozanne explains how this neglect of power has come about over the past 150 years and why it is important. He reviews various definitions and theories of power from across the social sciences and proposes a new approach that could bring considerations of power back into standard economic theory and economics teaching. The approach is simple and intuitive, involving little more than re-envisioning the social welfare function as a ‘political economy function‘. However, if adopted in economics teaching, it could radically change the way young economistsare taught to think about economic problems and lead to a ‘return to political economy‘. | 出版日期 | Book 2016 | 关键词 | Power; economics; political economy; microeconomics; economic principles; welfare economics; social choice | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1057/9781137553737 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-137-55373-7 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2016 |
