Lawson and the nature of economics

Authors: 
Anders Ekealnd

This an abstract of a coming article on Tony Lawsons' analysis and critique of main-stream economics. My main point is that the tendency to treat main-stream not as an ideology, but as a normal scientific theory is flawed from a scientific point view. Lawsons analysis (and other critics from the heterodox camp) show clearly how defunct "ecnomics" is from a scientific point of viw - and the logical conclusion is that this is not science, but ideology = politics.
