"We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if mankind is to survive." From Monthly Review, New York, May, 1949.

I believe for a number of reasons that it is. Let us first consider the question from the point of view of scientific knowledge. It might appear that there are no essential methodological differences between astronomy and economics: scientists in both fields attempt to discover laws of general acceptability for a circumscribed group of phenomena in order to make the interconnection of these phenomena as clearly understandable as possible.

Advertisements at this time were text-driven with perhaps an illustration of the product.
