This exciting new book from Geoffrey Hodgson is eagerly awaited by social scientists from many different backgrounds. This book charts the rise, fall and renewal of institutional economics in the critical, analytical and readable style that Hodgson's fans have come to know and love, and that a new generation of readers will surely come to appreciate.
This book is a wide ranging history of economic thought, describing early institutional economics, theories of institutions, multiple ontologies, emergence, and several other intellectual lineages related to critical realism. Great book, useful for talking foundations of social and economic theory.
