Сборник ведущих социологов и социальных теоретиков из США и Западной Европы, представляющих новую практическую парадигму, своего рода коллективный манифест прагматического поворота. Авторы позиционируют практическую парадигму относительно структурализма, герменевтики, семиотики. В книге обсуждается природа практического и неявного знания, навыков и практик, которые составляют фон социального порядка и поддерживают общую для любого коллектива систему смыслов.read more

TL;DR: In this article, the authors place macro-econometric modeling at the center of the history of macroeconomics, i.e. as a history of Macroeconometrics, and ask two central questions: (1) What exactly were the objectives and the forces driving the development of macro-EC modeling, and what kind of tools and institutions did macroeconomists build to observe, understand, and control the US postwar economy?
