This distinguished and provocative book calls into question thè increasing tendency of economics to attach themselves to the coat-tails of the scientists. Thus it is not concerned with scientific method in economics, but with the relation of scientific method to economie method, of scientific explanation to economie explanation; for to discover thè cause of a phenomenon or of an event is to explain it. Although it is now fifty years since the author began to write on economics, he has succeeded in looking at economics from the outside and provided a book that examines causality in economics as one case of causality in generai. This unconventional approach throws new light on some basic concepts of economie theory. The place of statistical techniques in the sciences and in economics is examined and a corresponding distinction drawn.
