Comments on Economic Models, Economics, and Economists: Remarks on Economics Rules by Dani Rodrik
评论罗德里克的《经济学规则》，探讨经济学是否科学、模型的意义、事实的本质等议题，并指出书中忽略的职业社会学、课程设置和出版困境等问题，适合关注经济学学科反思的读者。
This essay reviews Dani Rodrik's superb book Economics Rules and argues that it can serve as an ideal platform for discussing what economists can and should accomplish. The essay comments on some of the major issues in contemporary economics examined in the book: whether economics is a science, the meaning of economic models, the nature of “facts” in economics, and others. It also touches on issues that the book overlooks, such as the sociology of the profession, the teaching curriculum in economics, and the dismal situation of publishing in economics.
