The Unending Methodological Debates in Economics

Sharma, Soumitra

Abstract

Economic science, its contents, scope, and significance have been, for over a century and a half, dominated by intense methodological debates among scholars concentrating over issues of positivism, normativity, optimality, and empiricism. The debates are still going on. In this brief review, the author wishes to refresh the ongoing methodological debates that have haunted thewider field of social sciences.
