Intangible Flow Theory in Economics

Human Participation in Economic and Societal Production

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The dominant economic explanations of the twentieth century are not comprehensive enough to describe the complexity of economy and society, and their reliance on the biosphere. This book outlines a new theory which challenges both economics and the relativism conveyed in social constructivism, poststructuralism and postmodernism.

Rezensionen

"This book by Tiago Cardao-Pito contains many significant achievements. Most importantly, it provides a novel perspective for appreciating the reality of socioeconomic provisioning processes that has the potential to refine our ontological conceptions, without constraining established accounts."

Jakob Kapeller, Accounting, Economics and Law: A Convivium

"[T]his is a book that is impressive in the variety of topics addressed, ranging from sociology, political theory, economics, and, especially, classical philosophy and metaphysics...[T]he readership will encounter a well-grounded theoretical book that adds new complexities to the already contested economic theories on hedonism, rational choice, and, especially, the mastering of what empirical data can actually show."

Felipe Torres, economic sociology: perspectives and conversations
