<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>What has gone wrong with economics? Economists now routinely devise highly sophisticated abstract models that score top marks for theoretical rigour but are clearly divorced from observable activities in the current economy. This creates an 'uneconomic economics', where models explain relationships in blackboard rather than real-life markets.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Matthew Watson is Professor of Political Economy in the Department of Politics and International Studies at the University of Warwick, UK. Since 2013 he is also an ESRC Professorial Fellow working on the project 'Rethinking the Market'. In his research he applies methodologies from the history of thought in order to understand how modern-day markets take their distinctive form.</p>
