Symposium
Book •
In 'Rethinking My Economics,' Angus Deaton reflects on his career as an economist and expresses concerns about the state of the discipline.
He argues that economics has become too focused on mathematical models and abstract theories, and has lost touch with the real world.
Deaton calls for a more critical and interdisciplinary approach to economic research, emphasizing the importance of understanding the social, political, and historical context in which economic phenomena occur.
He also highlights the need for economists to be more aware of the ethical implications of their work.
