Reviews

"In his bold and thought-provoking new book, Geoffrey M. Hodgson exposes the deficiencies in 'methodological individualism' and shows how the neoclassical model of human nature is a crude caricature when it comes to dealing with the emergent dynamics of collective phenomena. In doing so, he provides much-needed clarification for an often muddy economic debate." (Peter Corning, Institute for the Study of Complex Systems and the author of The Fair Society)"
