The Conceptual Resilience of the Atomistic Individual in Mainstream Economic Rationality
Τhe idea that social influences and social interactions play a central role in individual economic decisions has had a long presence in the history of economics. With the emergence of marginalism, this idea retreated into the background and the concept of the atomistic individual became established in mainstream economic rationality. Starting in the 1970s, there were some attempts to reintroduce non-atomistic preferences in mainstream microeconom…
Value Judgements, Positivism and Utility Comparisons in Economics
The issue of interpersonal comparisons of utility is about the possibility (or not) of comparing the utility or welfare or the mental states in general, of different individuals. Embedded in the conceptual framework of utilitarianism, interpersonal comparisons were admissible in economics as part of the theoretical justification of welfare policies until the first decades of the twentieth century. Under the strong influence of the scientific phil…

Post-Keynesian Economics: New Foundations by Marc LavoieChapter 2: Theory of Choice
This work presents and discusses chapter two of Marc Lavoie’s book Post-Keynesian Economics: New Foundations. It begins by analysing the concepts of uncertainty and rationality which are extremely important for the post Keynesian approach, and for economic theorizing in general. The notions of fundamental uncertainty and the closely related concept of procedural rationality, are employed in order to build the foundations of a theory of household …
The marginalization of absolute and relative income hypotheses of consumption and the role of fiscal policy
Contrary to Keynes’ and Duesenberry’s consumption theories, absolute or relative income plays a minimal role in the life-cycle and in the permanent-income hypotheses. It plays an even lesser role in contemporary orthodox consumption functions which are extensions of these two theories in a rational-expectations framework. As a result, the theoretical effectiveness of fiscal policy for raising output is greatly diminished. The paper argues that Ke…
The Prosperity of Vice: A Worried View of Economics
Wicksteed, Robbins and the Emergence of Mainstream Economic Methodology
Phillip Wicksteed's ideas played an important role in the history of economic methodology, first, because his views represent the starting point of the deliberate attempt to expel hedonism from marginalist economic analysis, and secondly because his ideas influenced his prominent disciple Lionel Robbins. The current mainstream view of an allegedly value-free economic science can be traced to Robbins. The paper examines Wicksteed's conception of e…
Human Needs Hierarchy and Happiness: Evidence from the Late Pre-Classical and Classical Economics
This book is a welcome consolidation and extension of the recent expanding debates on happiness and economics. Happiness and economics, as a new field for research, is now of pivotal interest particularly to welfare economists and psychologists. This Handbook provides an unprecedented forum for discussion of the economic issues relating to happiness. It reviews the more recent literature and offers the interested reader an insight into the vast s…

Causality and Determinism in Economics
In recent years there has been a growing interest within economics in causality and related concepts, as the crucial place these notions occupy in the discipline becomes more widely appreciated. One clear manifestation of this interest is in the field of econometrics, where debates concerning the nature of causality are

Keynes‘ Economic Thought and the Theory of Consumer Behaviour
Although there is a large literature on the subject of the microeconomic foundations of Keynes’s macroeconomics, it seems that the subject of Keynes ’ views on the theory of consumer behaviour has been taken for granted. In particular
Two Levels of Hedonistic Influence on Microeconomic Theory
Hedonism is the philosophical view that the maximization of pleasure or happiness is the highest good and aim of life. Hedonism had, and indeed still has, considerable influence on many areas of intellectual activity. Hedonistic ideas were first introduced into economics with the work of Bentham and influ
