Abstract: | McCloskey’s criticism of formalism in economics and other social sciences fails to identify important arguments that justify
the practices he criticizes. While it is valuable to expose accepted methods to critical examination, McCloskey’s broad attack
implies the rejection of good social science as well as bad.
He studies the labor market and population migration. |
