Search for Good Science – a personal memoir
by NSER Editorial Board on January 13, 2009
I have been arguing for some years that all of the economics with which I am acquainted, whether orthodox or heterodox, is bad science. Rather than to look for an independent definition of bad science, a more constructive approach is positively to define good science and then to define bad science as its complement.
All good science is inspiration constrained by evidence and observation. If this statement is itself good science, then it too must be inspired and it must be constrained by evidence and observation.
