| Summary: | How did modern man come to believe in the object of the economy? What hopes made us accept scientific authority about this illusive thing? What kinds of persons were attracted by objective knowledge in economic discourse? And how does this knowledge guide our economic life? The Making of the Economy tackles such questions surrounding the modern notion of the economy with a fresh look from the perspective of phenomenological philosophy. In a historical narrative of economic discourses, Till Diippe shows that only due to the scientific culture of economics do we speak of an economy. Economic science made the economy. Our economic experiences alone do not trigger an interest in the economy, which makes Husserl's case for the "forgetfulness of the life-world." This book will appeal to historians and philosophers of the social sciences, as well as scholars of history, philosophy, and economics. Book jacket |
