THE SUBJECT OF RIGOROUS MATHEMATICAL ECONOMIC MODELING: CRITICAL REFLECTIONS ON GWF HEGEL AND ROBERT LUCAS, JR
Joseph W.H. Lough
; Department of Economics University of California, Berkeley
Abstract
If neoclassical economic theory was born out of the conflict between Hegelian historical economic theory and rigorous Austrian mathematical modeling, the resolution of this conflict may presage the birth of a new phase in critical social and economic practice. In this article, Professor Lough critically reflects on the significance the comprehensive, rational integration of the global economy holds for theorizing social, political and economic emancipation and freedom.
