A fresh #NobelPrize winner Paul Romer: "For more than three decades, #macroeconomics has gone backwards", "Mathiness lets [economics’] academic politics masquerade as science". Read and share Romer's astute reflections on the state of #economics profession. https://economicsociology.org/2018/10/08/nobel-winner-paul-romer-economists-use-math-to-mislead/James March, a distinguished social scientist and great master of #management studies, organisational and institutional #theory, has passed away. But only a few know that beside his tremendous academic career, March was also an accomplished poet. Poetry, he wrote, "is an exploration of ambivalence and paradox, of the possibility of feeling simultaneous sentiments that seem contradictory, of living in multiple worlds and experiencing multiple feelings, and of recognizing the role of ugliness in the creation of beauty.” R.I.P. https://economicsociology.org/2018/09/28/r-i-p-james-march-success/ #sociology #socialscience #strategyTags
