Description
This 2009 revised edition challenges the revealed preference approach to consumer behaviour theory, critically examining Paul Samuelson's research programme. Stanley Wong's study uses rational reconstruction to question two fundamental premises: that the programme is complete and that its contributions are mutually consistent.
The book features a new preface by Wong, providing insight into his pioneering text's origins, as well as a new introduction from Philip Mirowski, discussing the impact of The Foundation on the discipline of economics. This work remains core reading for economists today, offering a defining statement of economic method.
