  • A Plea for Peasant Proprietors.

    Philip Mirowski, Steven TradewellCHAPTERThe Economic Writings of William…2024

    Large landed estates by no means necessarily imply large farming, but small farming is an almost invariable concomitant of small proprietorship ; for numerous petty properties welded together into a single farm would generally have long to wait before finding favour in the eyes of an eligible tenant. Whatever evils, therefore, are inherent in peasant farms must be scarcely less inseparable from peasant properties, and no plea for the latter can b…

  • The Evolution of Platform Science

    Philip MirowskiARTICLESocial research2023Citada por: 1

    Although we have been living through an era of the commercialization of science since the 1980s, something has dramatically changed over the last decade. Whereas commercialization used to subject research outputs to market considerations, a new development seeks to monetize nearly all aspects of the research process. This has become manifest under the rubric of "open science" as the purported solution to what is perceived to ail modern science. T…

  • Ordoliberalism within the Historical Trajectory of Neoliberalism

    Philip MirowskiCHAPTEROxford Handbook of Ordoliberalism2022

    Thomas Biebricher (2017) has asked: What does it mean to say that Ordoliberalism was a variety of Neoliberalism? I attempt to answer this question by providing a very brief account of ‘schools of thought’ within the Mont Pelerin Society 1947–1980, and then describing the roles and functions performed by Ordoliberals within that context. My general thesis is that Ordoliberalism was central to the earliest attempts to construct neoliberal doctrine,…

    This is a meditation on the problems and pitfalls of writing a history of the Neoliberal Thought Collective, in the context of Nancy MacLean's popular book on the role of James Buchanan in modern political economy

  • Hell Is Truth Seen Too Late

    Philip MirowskiARTICLEboundary 22019Citada por: 22Referências: 32

    The contemporary literature on neoliberalism has grown so large as to be unwieldy. For some on the left, this has presented an occasion to denounce it altogether. This essay briefly diagnoses some of the possible reasons for the spreading disaffection and links that diagnosis to important developments in current politics. One of the most notable aspects of the literature is its unwillingness to approach neoliberalism primarily as a set of epistem…

  • On going the market one better

    Edward Nik-Khah, Philip MirowskiARTICLEEconomy and Society2019Citada por: 19Referências: 45

    Before the 1970s, no economists claimed an ability to fix markets; now economists make markets in a smorgasbord of shapes and flavours. Secondary commentary on market design fails to appreciate how momentous this change was. We summarize the development of market design through its first attempted application—auctions for airport slots. Economists reconceptualized markets from generic allocation processes to boutique information processors. The n…

  • Polanyi vs Hayek

    Philip MirowskiARTICLEGlobalizations2018Citada por: 4Referências: 7

    Karl Polanyi and Friedrich Hayek are often portrayed as implacable intellectual opponents but their respective historical trajectories suggest some telling similarities. Here we describe some key similarities in their approach to markets, as a prelude to evaluating the political consequences of relying upon their Austrian conceptions of nature-based and constructivist framing of markets. Perhaps it is time to transcend their dichotomy

  • The future(s) of open science

    Open AccessPhilip MirowskiARTICLESocial Studies of Science2018Citada por: 55Referências: 7

    Almost everyone is enthusiastic that 'open science' is the wave of the future. Yet when one looks seriously at the flaws in modern science that the movement proposes to remedy, the prospect for improvement in at least four areas are unimpressive. This suggests that the agenda is effectively to re-engineer science along the lines of platform capitalism, under the misleading banner of opening up science to the masses

  • The Knowledge We Have Lost in Information

    Philip Mirowski, Edward Nik-KhahBOOKKnowledge We Have Lost in…2017

    In contrast with conventional histories of “economic rationality,” in this book we propose that the history of modern microeconomics is better organized as the treatment of information in postwar economics. Beginning with a brief primer on the nature of information, we then explore how economists first managed their rendezvous with it, tracing its origins to the Neoliberal Thought Collective and Friedrich Hayek. The response to this perceived thr…

  • The Knowledge We Have Lost in Information

    Edward Nik-Khah, Edward M Nik-Khah et al.BOOKKnowledge We Have Lost in…2017

    Information is a central concept in economics, and The Knowledge We Have Lost in Information explores its treatment in modern economics. The study of information, far from offering enlightenment, resulted in all matter of confusion for economists and the public. Philip Mirowski and Edward Nik-Khah argue that the conventional wisdom suggesting rationality was the core of modern economics is incomplete. In this trenchant investigation, they demonst…

    Now that the U.S. Supreme Court in 2013 has ruled that naturally occurring DNA segments are “products of nature” and not eligible to be patented, the time is auspicious to revisit the starting gun that set it all off, Herbert W. Boyer and Stanley N. Cohen’s patent on recombinant DNA cloning, first filed in 1974 and granted in 1980. Doogab Yi has written a very important account of both scientific and social events at Stanford in the 1960s and 197…

  • Private Intellectuals and Public Perplexity

    Philip Mirowski, Edward Nik-KhahARTICLEHistory of Political Economy2013Citada por: 7Referências: 18

    We explore recent arguments that economists may not serve to enlighten their publics so much as foster surplus confusion and doubt concerning controversies in their areas of expertise, particularly with regard to the recent worldwide economic crisis. After describing agnotology, the new area of the history of science that studies such phenomena, we recount two instances of these activities: the role of market designers in the framing and justific…

    Minding the Cybernetic Gap Philip Mirowski (bio) Andrew Pickering, The Cybernetic Brain At the end of this volume Andrew Pickering admits that “this book is an attempt to rescue cybernetics from the margins and launder it into mainstream discourse” (p. 390).1 I run into this sort of rescue operation all the time in the history of economics, and have indulged in it a little bit myself, so it becomes all the more urgent for me to try and articulate…

  • Science-Mart

    Philip MirowskiBOOKScience-Mart2011

    This trenchant study analyzes the rise and decline in the quality and format of science in America since World War II. During the Cold War, the U.S. government amply funded basic research in science and medicine. Starting in the 1980s, however, this support began to decline and for-profit corporations became the largest funders of research. Philip Mirowski argues that a powerful neoliberal ideology promoted a radically different view of knowledge…
