Description
From the introduction:
"Otto Neurath was not shy to declare himself a utopian thinker. His standing as an economist depends on what one makes of this feature of his thought. Here I shall be attempting an immanent critique, on Neurath’s own terms.
Without discussing the meaning of utopianism in general, I shall argue that while much of his work in economics amounts to what he called ‘scientific utopianism’ – something he was within his rights to consider part of social-scientific activity – there are also aspects to this work in economics that are utopian in a more problematic sense. I will isolate what these elements are and investigate how, if at all, their presence in Neurath’s thought can be understood without de-legitimizing the rest of his program."
