Ideology, Economic Policy, and Economic History: Cohen and DeLong's Concrete Economics
评论科恩与德朗的《具体经济学》，指出其将美国1980年前的经济政策视为务实促进增长，但缺乏对意识形态影响的实证分析，并探讨意识形态思维的定义及其危害。
Stephen S. Cohen and J. Bradford DeLong view US economic policy extending up to 1980 as pragmatically fostering growth. This they interpret as the Hamiltonian tradition, and their intent is to rescue policy debate from the data- and logic-free quagmire into which they believe it has fallen. Following an introduction, section 2 of this essay describes methods and evidence that permit statements about the historical influence of ideological thinking more empirically grounded than those essayed by the authors. Section 3 examines specific aspects of their narrative. Section 4 considers what we mean by ideological thinking, and why it might be deleterious.
