jpe:10729 - Journal of Philosophical Economics, November 20, 2019, Volume XIII Issue 1 - https://doi.org/10.46298/jpe.10729The resilience of modern neoclassical economics -a case study in the light of Ludwik Fleck's 'harmony of deception'Article
In this paper, Ludwick Fleck’s philosophy and sociology of science will be briefly outlined in order to establish a ‘theory of the resilience of scientific misapprehension’. This theory will be use in order to gain insights into the modes of operation of defence and resilience of modern neoclassical economics in the face of recent harsh critique by singling out a case of extreme deviation of theoretical prediction from empirical evidence: minimum wages’ impact on employment.
