A classic in its field, this path breaking book humanized the scientific rhetoric of economics to reveal its literary soul. Economics needs to admit that it, like other sciences, works with metaphors and stories. Its most mathematical and statistical moments are properly dominated by comparison and narration, that is to say, human persuasion. The book was McCloskey‘s opening move in the development of a humanomics and unification of the sciences and the humanities on the field of ordinary business life.
The Rhetoric of Economics provides the novice with brief knowledge about writing techniques in economic research. It is also one of the most ideal journal used by established universities like Nottingham University, Durham University, Stanford University and many more around the globe.
