| Abstract
|
:
|
Most of the existing research on economic history relies either solely or ultimately on calculations of material interest to explain the major events of the modern world. However, care must be taken not to rely too heavily on materialism, with its associated confidence in perfectly rational actors that simply do not exist. What is needed for a more cogent understanding of the long history of capitalist growth is a more realistic, human-centred approach that can take account of the role of nonmaterial values and beliefs, an approach convincingly articulated by Deirdre McCloskey in her landmark trilogy of books on the moral and ethical basis of modern economic life. Here, Floud, Hejeebu and Mitch have brought together a distinguished group of scholars in economics, economic history, political science, philosophy, gender studies and communications who synthesise and build on McCloskey's work.
