The Philosophy of Economics is the first work to seriously and successfully bridge twentieth-century economics and twentieth-century philosophy. In this important and ambitious work, Subroto Roy draws these two disciplines together and examines the basic intellectual roots of economics. It is the first work by an economist to tackle the import of modern philosophy for economic thought. Unlike others in the field, Roy discusses not only the contributions of Popper, Kuhn and Lakatos, but also those of Freud, Moore and Wittgenstein, as well as Plato and Aristotle.
