Economics and Performativity

Exploring Limits, Theories and Cases

Beschreibung

It has been argued that economic theories are performative, and not only descriptive. Yet, there are issues with the definition of performativity within economics. For philosophers, the possibility of failure is built into their definition of a performative statement, this book argues the idea of failure is key to any definition of performativity.
