In contrast the other takes history as a kind of epistemologic laboratory by using it to investigate how scientific knowledge develops from simpler, primitive notion up through the most advanced scientific explanations so far achieved.<br />Particularly given the opening statement of the problem suggested by Nasar of the development of economic ideas, Solow seems to expect the second kind of economic investigation of economic epistemology from Nasar and is disappointed.<br />Solow mentions Agnar Sandmo, the author of Economics Evolving, as an excellent recent history apparently from the second epistemologic perspective.<br />I wonder what other scholars notably work in the genre of the history of economics that might be considered exemplary analyses from this epistemologic perspective?Richard Meinhardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06001919984659944847noreply@blogger.com
