Ceteris paribus laws and socio-economic machines
The Monist 78 (3):276-294 (1995)
Abstract
Economics differs from physics, we are told, in that the laws economics studies hold only ceteris paribus whereas those of physics are supposed to obtain universally and without condition. Does this point to a metaphysical difference between the laws the two disciplines study or does it reflect merely a deficiency in the level of accomplishment of economics as compared to physics?Author's Profile
