Machomatics in Egonomics
THE INTERNATIONAL REVIEW OF FINANCIAL ANALYSIS, Vol 4 No 2
Posted: 18 Apr 1998
Abstract
Mathematics, like medieval Latin, is a medium of disputation in economics wherein those skillful in its use can subdue those who are not, independent of any substantive economic meaning. In so using mathematics, economics has shut itself off from much of the richness of economic activity that is impossible to express in the language of mathematics and from the contributions of economists, many of whom may be women, whose understanding is better communicated in the vernacular.
