Economic Indeterminacy : A Personal Encounter with the Economists\' Peculiar Nemesis, Hardcover by Varoufakis, Yanis, ISBN 0415668492, ISBN-13 9780415668491, Like New Used, Free shipping in the USCalling out neoclassical economics as \"an ideologically driven pseudo-science whose power comes from successfully hiding, as opposed to revealing, the true nature of our social, political, and economic relations,\" Varoufakis (economic theory, U. of Athens, Greece), argues that its failures come from being defined by methodological individualism, methodological instrumentalism, and methodological equilibration. The first two provide a sophisticated complexity, he argues, but also introduce a specter of indeterminacy that generates evolutionary and social forces that gives rise within the discipline to demands for stringent equilibration, thus masking its failures. After explaining the way this \"dance of the meta-axioms\" works in neoclassical economics, he presents 12 chapters that reproduce his work over the course of his career in trying to find alternatives to this methodological trap through the embrace of indeterminacy.
