Is Probability Theory Relevant for Uncertainty? A Different Perspective

In: Inflation, Open Economies and Resources

Author

Listed:
  • Paul Davidson

Abstract

The Journal of Economic Perspectives (1987, p. 3) is dedicated ‘to providing a range of perspectives on economics and to show how an economic perspective can help in understanding society and some of its problems’. Sometimes, however, the ‘range of perspectives’ provided and the resulting help in understanding society’s economic problems has been unduly limited.
