Autor: McCloskey, Deirdre N
Jahr: 1998
CONTENTS
Preface to the Second Edition xi
Acknowledgments for the First Edition xv
Exordium xix
1 HOW TO DO A RHETORICAL ANALYSIS
OF ECONOMICS, AND WHY 3
It s Not Philosophical Reading, It s Rhetorical 3
The Old Word Rhetoric Is a Good One 4
The Scientist Must Establish Her Ethos 7
Point of View Is a Scientific Choice 9
Mere Style Is Not Mere 10
Style Is Often an Appeal to Authority 11
Economists Are Poets 12
And Novelists 13
Be Not Afraid of Deconstruction and Other Terrors 15
Writing Is Performance 17
2 THE LITERARY CHARACTER OF ECONOMIC SCIENCE 20
Science Uses Literary Methods 20
Proofs of the Law of Demand Are Mostly Literary 23
Linguistics Is an Appropriate Model for
Economic Science 28
Literary Thinking May Improve Applied Economics 31
3 FIGURES OF ECONOMIC SPEECH 35
Even a Mathematical Economist Uses, and Must
Use, Literary Devices: The Case of Paul Samuelson 35
Most of the Devices Are Only Dimly Recognized 38
Models Are Nonornamental Metaphors:
The Case of Gary Becker 40
Both Mathematical and Nonmathematical Reasoning
in Economics Rely on Metaphor 44
viii
Contents
The Master Tropes Rule Economics:
The Case of Robert Solow 48
4 THE RHETORIC OF SCIENTISM:
HOW JOHN MUTH PERSUADES 52
Muth s Article Was Ill-Written but Important 52
Muth s Main Points Can Be Expressed in English 54
Muth s Article Engages in the Usual Appeals
to Scientific Method 58
Muth s Appeal Is in Fact to the Community of Scholars 61
The Explicit Arguments Are Rhetorically Complex 63
Muth s Rhetoric Is Indistinguishable from
That in Other Fields 66
5 THE PROBLEM OF AUDIENCE IN HISTORICAL ECONOMICS:
ROBERT FOGEL AS RHETOR 74
The Text Was Important 74
It Is a Most Rhetorical Book 77
It Uses Intensively the Common Topics 79
The Book Also Uses the Special Topics of Economics 82
The Text Invented an Audience 84
6 THE LAWYERLY RHETORIC OF COASE S
THE NATURE OF THE FIRM 87
Coase Solved His Problem of Ethos
by Appeal to Axiom and Proof 87
But Coase Was an Advocate, Not a Prover 89
The Lawyerly Rhetoric Appeals to the Facts 91
And Yet Coase Is Indubitably an Economist 94
His Article Was about the Rhetoric in the Economy 95
Coasean Economics Is Anti-Modernist, Gothic,
Postmodern in Its Rhetoric 98
7 THE UNEXAMINED RHETORIC OF
ECONOMIC QUANTIFICATION 100
Rhetorical Standards, for Example, Are Necessary
to Measure the Integration of Markets 100
In Like Fashion, Rhetorical Standards Are
Necessary in Linguistics to Measure the
Similarity of Languages 104
ix
Contents
That Is, the Speech Acts of Scientists Are
Conversations, Good or Bad 107
The Conversation on Purchasing Power Parity,
for Example, Is Rhetorically Muddled 109
8 THE RHETORIC OF SIGNIFICANCE TESTS 112
Statistical Significance Has Ruined Empirical
Work in Economics 112
Econometrics Confuses Statistical
and Scientific Significance 115
The Rhetorical History of Statistics
Is the Source of the Difficulty 120
A Lot Can Go Wrong When Using
Statistical Significance 125
A Lot Did Go Wrong 129
9 THE POVERTY OF ECONOMIC MODERNISM 139
The Mathematization of Economics
Was a Good Idea 139
But a Philosophy Got Mixed Up in the Mathematics 140
The Official Methodology of Economics Is
Modernist 141
Modernism Is a Poor Method: For One Thing,
It Is Obsolete in Philosophy 147
And Falsification Is Not Cogent 148
Profitable Prediction Is Not Possible In Economics 150
Modernism Is Impossible, and Is Not Adhered To 151
10 FROM METHODOLOGY TO RHETORIC 156
Any Rule-Bound Methodology Is Objectionable 156
Methodology Is Middle Management 159
Good Science Is Good Conversation 162
Rhetoric Is a Better Way to Understand Science 163
Other Sciences Have Rhetorics 164
11 ANTI-ANTI-RHETORIC 168
The Alternative to Modernism Is Not Irrationalism 168
The Political Arguments for Methodology Are Weak 171
We Wish to Make Plausible Statements, Whether
Scientific or Not 175
X
Contents
The Philosophical Objections to Rhetoric
Are Not Persuasive 179
Anti-Modernism Is Nice 183
Rhetoric Is Good for You 184
12 SINCE RHETORIC: PROSPECTS FOR A SCIENTIFIC
ECONOMICS 187
