Document Summary
There"s a debate between these two economics trying to explain financial crisis. You need to invest when the economy slows down . You do not need to invest because then you will create a boom and a bust . The way in which ideas last beyond the person that articulates them. Is there a relationship between the world and ideas: theoretical approaches to this problem, epistemic communities. Scientific communities that have advanced expertise and these influence the material world. Climate change: epistemic community, on the panel on climate change that make recommendations about this problem, but little action is taken to address this problem, neutrality is undermined. It comes under political attack and challenges: constructivism. Idea that the social world is made by people. The idea that the economy is rational, people are rational, they have preferences and go through a rational preference of identifying it.
