First published in 1927, Economics and Human Behaviour is a defence of orthodox economics against the attacks of social psychology. The author has explicated on the characteristics and value of both orthodox economics as well as psychology, and then presented psychology’s criticism against orthodox economics. Before concluding with the limitations of both disciplines, this tiny book reinstates the importance of orthodox economics in the gathering and interpretation of facts. Given the predominance of economics over psychology in current times, this book will be an interesting read for anyone keen on imagining the tables turned. It will also appeal to students of economics, history and psychology.
