🎉 I’m incredibly excited that, after so much time, my book Conversations on Rational Choice will be published by CUP. It features 23 interviews with leading rational choice scholars and their critics, each accompanied by in-depth introductions to their work: www.cambridge.org/core/books/c...

Interesting.

Are you looking for an introduction to the history of economics? I recommend Roger Backhouse's The Ordinary Business of Life (titled The Penguin History of Economics in the UK), second edition (2023). Read my review of the book, forthcoming in JHET www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Coming soon: one of the best books I've read this year, and probably the clearest and deepest answer to the question "what's an economic model"

By the great Verena Halsmayer
