Epistemology of Economics: Soros (2013) Fallibility and reflexivity

This will be the last session of our reading group.

During the last session, we will discuss a paper by Soros (2013) to complement our journey in analyzing the Philosophy of Economics. Soros (2013) argues that: *"the failure [in economics] is more profound than generally recognized. It goes back to the foundations of economic theory."* Most importantly, the author describes a distinct epistemological approach to economic theorizing. This paper should serve as the pinnacle of our reading group that we started with Evolutionary Realism in November 2019.
