The Rhetoric Of Economics

Informationen zum Autor Deirdre N. McCloskey is the UIC Distinguished Professor of Economics, History, English, and Communication at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Klappentext A classic in its field, this pathbreaking book humanized the scientific rhetoric of economics to reveal its literary soul. Author Deirdre N. McCloskey was formerly known as Donald. Her experience in changing gender is reflected in this new edition, but the message remains the same--economics needs to move away from metaphoric rhetoric aimed at persuasion and get back to the science of facts. Zusammenfassung This revised second edition demonstrates how economic discourse employs metaphor, authority, symmetry and other rhetorical means of persuasion. It shows economists to be human persuaders and poets of the marketplace, even in their most technical and mathematical moods.
