- Summary:
- In a work he characterizes as part history of economic thought and part economic methodology, King (economics, La Trobe U., Australia) traces the history of the dogma that the larger economy is an aggregate of decisions made by individuals, more specifically by RARE--representative agents with rational expectations. His topics include microfoundations as micro-reduction, case studies in biology and social science, microfoundations in the literature of economics 1936-2012, the post-Keynesian dissenters, and the economic methodologists and microfoundations.
