New Thinking in Political Economy Book Series

 

I initiated this series with Edward Elgar Publishing in 1999 with the same purpose in mind that was behind my initiating the Workshop which I direct at GMU --- to encourage research by scholars at the intersection of the disciplines of philosophy, politics and economics. My reasoning behind this is simple -- economics is most powerful when it retains its "worldly philosophy" character and at its worst when it falls into the trap of believing itself to be a branch of "social engineering". Creative research in political economy emerges from the tension that is generated by conceiving of economics as philosophy and conceiving of it as science --- political economy, in other words, is a philosophical science.

Anyway, I edit this series of books and scholars interested in submitting their work for consideration in this series are encourage to contact me at pboettke@gmu.edu.
