Criticisms of Neoclassical Economics - Incomplete

Incomplete

James K. Galbraith on his article A contribution on the state of economics in France and the world asks himself: "Is there anything missing even from the hotly contested domains of modern mainstream economics?" On his opinion, three large areas have disappeared from the teaching of Economics, "at very considerable intellectual and social cost": the history of economics itself, the proper study of macroeconomic and monetary economics - which have been submerged by the neoclassical emphasis on market transactions between firms and households - and the lack of instruction in differing institutional contexts (political, national and international structures, policy histories).

Famous quotes containing the word incomplete:

    The real weakness of England lies, not in incomplete armaments or unfortified coasts, not in the poverty that creeps through sunless lanes, or the drunkenness that brawls in loathsome courts, but simply in the fact that her ideals are emotional and not intellectual.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    I dont think there is anything on earth more wonderful than those wistful incomplete friendships one makes now and then in an hour’s talk. You never see the people again, but the lingering sense of their presence in the world is like the glow of an unseen city at night—makes you feel the teemingness of it all.
    John Dos Passos (1896–1970)

    A man in love is incomplete until he has married—then he’s finished.
    Zsa Zsa Gabor (b. 1919)
