Classical Economic Man: Human Agency and Methodology in the Political Economy of Adam Smith and J.S. Mill
Edward Elgar Publishing (1994)
Abstract
Allen Oakley argues that two of the fathers of modern economics espoused methodological strategies which gave primacy to the human origins of economic phenomena and so rejected the concept of economic man. He shows that they were sensitive to the need for a pluralistic methodology in economics.
