Description

Explore the complexities of economic thought with Economic Myths and the Mythology of Economics, part of the Routledge Revivals series. Originally published in 1986, this polemical study by Professor Mishan offers a deep look into the popular misconceptions that shape how we view economic issues today. As an internationally recognized expert in resource allocation and cost benefit analysis, Professor Mishan challenges the common idea that economics functions as a pure science. He examines how these widespread myths influence public perception and how governments utilize large groups of economists to drive policies regarding economic growth, efficiency, and employment. This book serves as an essential resource for readers looking to understand the gap between economic theory and popular belief. Whether you are a student of economics or a curious reader, this text provides a unique perspective on the ways economic narratives are constructed and maintained in the modern world.
