Another summer read: the revised edition of Daniel Hausman’s The Inexact and Separate Science of Economics. First read it as a PhD student many years ago—learned a lot. Still excellent, though I wish it engaged more with recent philosophy of science.

I finally read The Myth of the Entrepreneurial State by McCloskey & Mingardi. I didn’t like the argumentative style, but the critique of Mazzucato is serious. If you can get past the tone, it’s worth reading.

Almost ready for publication: our chapter in the forthcoming Edward Elgar Handbook for Teaching Philosophy to Economists. We reflect on the challenges of teaching a large, compulsory PoE course in an econ department—and offer some practical suggestions.

Why do humans take risks that no other species would dare? How did our ancestors’ gambles shape our evolution? And could the very trait that made us dominant on Earth now lead to our downfall? Curious? Don't miss Don Ross' talk on Jan 20! reses-argumenta.fi?p=1126
