Abstract

Book Reviews be commodified, a disunity-of-science approach, and a questioning of the units of organization in science. Despite the problems with the organizational framework, What Do Economists Know? does contain many interesting reflections. For instance, Judith Mehta explores the consequences of the fact that her anticipation of the readers’ act of reading influences her writing. Michael Bernstein offers an insightful social history of U.S. economic thought during and after World War II. And Ulla Grapard explores the sense in which visual representations have been used, whether consciously or not, to exclude certain readers. Yet, in the end, the contributions to the volume leave the reader more with a sense of what economists do not know. Esther-Mirjam Sent, University of Notre Dame
