In addition to questioning the veracity of the connection between physics and economics, the contributors consider the far-reaching implications of Mirowskiâs thesis for the history of economics. Mirowski shows that economic texts must be viewed in their relation to texts outside the field of economics and offers an alternative reading of economic texts as social and cultural inscriptions. As historians of economics respond to Mirowskiâs challenge, the style and direction of their work will be changed. Utlimately, a careful assessment of More Heat Than Light may introduce historians of economics to recognize that the âdisciplineâ of economics may not be the most appropriate category from which to proceed.
