This bold and ambitious book attempts to diagnose and remedy what is wrong with economics, so that it can become an emancipatory form of knowledge. Arnsperger's emphasis falls on the idea that economics neglects the possibility that individuals, people to be precise, ask not only 'what is in it for them', within a given socio-economic context, but also care about the context itself. The result is a book which will be of interest to serious economists and philosophers of social science everywhere.
