Economics
and Ideology
The world that citizens live in is a world of political-economy
not mere technical economics alone. A parallel series of display
models linking various political persuasions with the basically
different assumptions usually made about regulation, deregulation;
free banking controlled banking, Keynesian assumptions, monetarist
assumptions must be laid out so that the distinctions between technological
economic knowledge, and assumptions based on political persuasion
are made clear. The emphasis is to show where the basic open questions
are located and to warn against confusing scientific knowledge with
ideological fix.
Basic questions concerning the relationship between democratic
processes and market economies must be addressed and illustrated. |
