Author

  • Brian Snowdon
  • Howard Vane

Abstract

“… there is no single doctrine taken to be a scientific truth without the diametrically opposed view being similarly upheld by authors of high repute … in other fields of science these conflicts usually come to an end … It is only in the field of economics that the state of war seems to persist and remain permanent.†1
