Economic ideas have been the intellectual focus in the study of law, while in the study of politics, economists and political scientists using economics-type methods are uniquely influential. In sociology and history, economics has had a smaller but growing influence through \"rational choice sociology\" and \"cliometrics.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book shows that, in calling economics the \"dismal science,\" Thomas Carlyle was profoundly wrong. Economic ideas have illuminated behavior in all of the social sciences in addition to the economists' traditional domain. The broadening of economics and the use of economists' methods by social scientists in other fields is leading to a unified and positive view of economies and societies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMancur Olson\u003c\/strong\u003e was Distinguished Professor of economics at the University of Maryland and Founder and Principal Investigator of the Center for Institutional Reform and the Informal Sector (IRIS), also based at the University of Maryland.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSatu Kahkonen\u003c\/strong\u003e is Associate Director of IRIS.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 288\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.65 x 9.22 x 6.13 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 16, 2000\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52288364544274,"sku":"9780198294900","price":116.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/2211\/5346\/files\/cDJpU25WRlF1anlMa2s3QTBVYWpVQT09.webp?v=1779371887","url":"https:\/\/ckbookstore.net\/products\/a-not-so-dismal-science-a-broader-view-of-economies-and-societies-paperback","provider":"CK BOOKSTORE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
