Should Economists be Experts in Markets or in Human Nature?

Philip Mirowski
Netzwerk Plurale Ökonomik, 2015
Level: expert
Perspectives: Behavioral Economics, Institutionalist Economics, Neoclassical Economics
Topic: Microeconomics & Markets, Reflection of Economics
Format: Lecture
Duration: 01:02:21

In this lecture Mirowski claims that a good critique of and alternative to neoclassical economics should focus on microeconomics. In addition, he claims that mainstream economics is not about a specific "human nature", instead the understanding of markets (partially based on Hayek) is of special importance. As an alternative Mirowski proposes institutionalist economics that builds upon how markets work nowadays (e.g. links to computer science).

Is Behavioural Economics the New Mainstream?
Since Daniel Kahneman won the Nobel Memorial Price in Economic Sciences in 2002, a new branch of economics gained academic and popular interest. That is, the so-called area of behavioural economics. However, some scholars claim that this new area of economics is not changing much of the mainstream paradigm. Why?

The Rise of Trumpism
Donald Trump won in 2016 largely because enough voters in three states, all in the Rustbelt, which had voted for Barack Obama in both 2008 and 2012, switched their electoral votes from Democratic to Republican.
