Do Economists Make Markets?: On the Performativity of Economicsed. by
Donald MacKenzie, Fabian Muniesa &Lucia Siu
"Review
MacKenzie . . . skillfully describes the history of the financial derivatives market, claiming that the economists caused trader behavior to conform more closely to the model. . . . The volume is an excellent introduction to the debate over performativity and will appeal to a broad set of social scientists.
(W. J. Polley Choice )
A highly stimulating volume. . . . Many investors will be surprised to discover the breadth of intellectual interest in the markets they troll for profits.
(Martin S. Fridson Financial Analysts Journal )
For those who are already interested in the performativity of economics, this volume gathers some already familiar contributions, but will still constitute an obligatory point of passage. For those who, finally, are broadly interested in new ways to analyse the shaping of markets, this volume represents a challenging research programme worth taking seriously.
(Claes-Fredrick Helgesson Organization Studies )
The book should interest anyone studying the nuts and bolts of the workings of markets.
(James G. Devine Science & Society )
Review
This excellent collection gathers the very best work on the fascinating topic of performativity in economics. The book offers articulate presentations of a wide range of different views--not only pro and con, but various pros and cons. It is as important as it is likely to be controversial.
