Draft of a contribution to Kincaid & Ross Modern Guide to Philosophy of Economics (Elgar). To talk in 2020 about the foundations of behavioural and experimental economics (BE and EE from here on), or for that matter the methodological and substantive relationships between economic and psychological models of behaviour (Ortmann & Gigerenzer 1997), and the implications of differences in experimental methods (Hertwig & Ortmann 2001) requires that we first talk about the ramifications of the replicability- and credibility crisis that has afflicted the business and social sciences, and very prominently psychology, since at least 2005. That's because the way you do an experiment, evaluate and report it, is unbelievably important (Camerer 2003, p. 34; Ortmann 2010) and bears, as I shall argue below, on the issue of the foundations of BE and EE, on issues of rationality and bounded rationality, self- and other-regarding behaviour, and the whole kaboodle. Here are the major themes I will cover in this chapter (with quick summary answers in parentheses):Is there a replicability and credibility crisis in the social sciences? (Yes, no doubt. Especially if we restrict ourselves to economics and psychology and laboratory experimentation as we shall do here.)Does the replicability crisis play out differently in economics and psychology. (Yes.)Are poor methodological and statistical practices (p-hacking? HARKing?) responsible for that state of affairs? (Yes.)The good news is that both can be addressed through better statistical practices, and better methodological practices such as better reporting policies, power computations, preregistrations, constraints on general(izabil)ity, etc. What then lies at the root of the problem? (The absence (presence) of a theoretical framework in much of psychology (economics), i.e., psychology's “theoretical amnesia”.)So, what has all this do with of the foundations of BE and EE? (A lot!)EE, allegedly based on the soul of modern economic man - driven by self-interest, not to be confused with greed - provides, especially in its modern variant (rather than the caricatures that uninformed critics paint of it), the rigid framework that psychology is so badly missing (e.g., McPhetres et al. 2020). Two caveats are due here. First, I do understand that some parts of psychology (e.g., cognitive psychology) are better theorized than others (e.g., social psychology), a fact that seems related to researchers' ability to replicate findings. Second, modern economics is here understood as modern micro-economic theory as sketched out in Kreps (2020) or Binmore (2007) and work that followed them. BE, allegedly enriching economic models with “insights from psychology”, is a mostly untheorized and adhoc-ish mess (for a particularly silly example see Tomer 2017; for a review of that book see Ortmann 2018) that does not provide the kind of theoretical framework that psychology, and behavioural economics, need. The foundations of BE, certainly to the extent that they are grounded in social psychology and judgement and decision making, are for the birds.

God does not appear in the modern market. For most economists this is as it should be. It is in no way necessary, according to modern economic theory, to consider God when thinking about economy. Indeed, the absence of God in economic matters is viewed as necessary to the great advances in modern economy. The difficulty with modern market economies, however, is that human livelihood is also left out of the theory and practice of the market economy. ?"I propose to bring the church's teaching about God, the doctrine of the Trinity, to bear on the masked connections between God and economy. I will treat the Trinity as the way of understanding what the Bible calls the 'economy of God.'?

Relational Anthropology For Contemporary Economics written by Jermo van Nes and has been published by Springer Nature this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2022 with Economic anthropology categories.
This open access book offers a multidisciplinary dialogue on relational anthropology in contemporary economics. A particular view of the human being is often assumed in economic models, but seldom acknowledged let alone explicated. Addressing this neglected area of research in economic studies, altogether the contributors touch upon the importance and potential of virtues, the notions of freedom and self-love, the potential of simulation models, the dialectics of love, and questions of methodology in constructing a relational anthropology for contemporary economics. The overall result is a highly informative and constructive dialogue, establishing inter alia a research agenda for future collaborative and multidisciplinary study.

Frequently the achievements of pioneering economic writers are assessed by imposing contemporary theories of markets, economics, politics, and history. At last, here is a book that appraises the work of the leading English economic writers of the seventeenth century using intellectual concepts of the time, rather than present-day analytical models, in order to place their economic theories in context. In an analysis that tracks the Stuart century, Andrea Finkelstein traces the progress of such figures as Gerard de Malynes, William Petty, John Locke, and Charles Davenant by inviting us into the great trading companies and halls of parliament where we relive the debates over the coinage, the interest rate, and the nature of money. Furthermore, we see them model their works on the latest developments in physiology, borrow ideas from bookkeeping, and argue over the nature of numbers in an effort to construct a market theory grounded in objective moral value. This comprehensive approach clarifies the relationship between the century's economic ideas and its intellectual thought so that, in the end, readers will be able to judge for themselves whether this really was the age of the Capitalist Geist. Finkelstein has crafted her book to be both inclusive and interdisciplinary by skillfully integrating biography, political history, economic history, and intellectual theory as well as the economic heritage of its subjects. While the concepts are far from simple, Finkelstein's adroit style presents her analysis in an extremely accessible manner. Andrea Finkelstein is Assistant Professor of History, City University of New York.

Samuel Pufendorf’s work on natural law and political economy was extensive and has been cited by several important figures in the history of economic thought. Yet his name is rarely mentioned in textbooks on the history of economic thought, the history of political science or the history of philosophy. In this unprecedented study, Arild Sæther sheds new light both on Pufendorf’s own life and work, as well as his influence on his contemporaries and on later scholars. This book explores Pufendorf ’s doctrines of political economy and his work on natural law, which was translated into several major European languages. Natural Law and the Origin of Political Economy considers the influence he had on the writings on political economy of John Locke, Charles Montesquieu, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Francis Hutcheson and Adam Smith, amongst others. If Smith can be called the father of modern economics, this book claims that Pufendorf can be called the grandfather. This volume is of great importance to those who study Pufendorf ’s extensive works, as well as those interested in history of economic thought, political economy and political philosophy.
