Abstract(s)

Methodological comments on critical realism in economics have proliferated over the past decade - typically focusing on Tony Lawson's Economics and Reality and Reorienting Economics, which constitute the core of this project. In the present paper we select a series of important, mostly very recent arguments against critical realism in economics and assess their merits and demerits.
