Abstract

Due to its formality and highly analytic thinking, economics is often attributed a leading role among the social sciences and a prominent position as contributor to economic or social issues in the real world. Fact is, however, that the empirical proof for such a claim is either missing or anecdotal. Copyright Verein fü Socialpolitik und Blackwell Publishers Ltd 2000
