商品描述

This book provides a new paradigm of economics that is called: qualitative economics. The authors take an approach to economics that is entirely different from the established neo-classical economics paradigm. Arguing that the basis of neo-classical economic theory with its focus on perfect information in a balanced equilibrium system of supply and demand is fundamentally flawed, the authors propose an inclusive philosophical and scientific perspective to explain economic structures and activities and how best to understand the dynamics of economics.

Furthermore, the authors argue that a qualitative approach allows for greater understanding of not only the actors, actions and situations in economics, but also defines the context in which the more traditional quantitative and statistical methods are applied. The book includes case studies to further illustrate the applications of qualitative economics. Challenging orthodox paradigms and schools of economic thought, the book proposes a new way of looking at economics, and as such will be of use to researchers and students of economics, business, social sciences and the sciences as well as think tanks and advocacy groups interested in heterodox economics.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書提供了一種新的經濟學範式，稱為：質性經濟學。作者採取了一種與既有的新古典經濟學範式完全不同的經濟學觀點。作者主張，新古典經濟理論以供需平衡系統中的完美資訊為重心的基礎是根本有缺陷的，因此提出了一種包容性的哲學和科學視角，以解釋經濟結構和活動，以及如何最佳理解經濟的動態。

此外，作者認為，質性方法不僅能更深入理解經濟中的行為者、行動和情境，還能定義更傳統的定量和統計方法所應用的背景。這本書包含案例研究，以進一步說明質性經濟學的應用。挑戰正統的範式和經濟思想學派，這本書提出了一種新的經濟學觀點，因此將對經濟學、商業、社會科學及自然科學的研究者和學生，以及對異端經濟學感興趣的智庫和倡導團體有所幫助。
