Biased Thinking of Modern Economics in Research Methods and Contents
|
Abstract:
The economic society is a system dominated by psychological and spiritual factors,and economic activities belong to the category of both psychological and spiritual phenomena.It is not appropriate by nature to study economics in a mathematical way.Modern economics is totally based on the imaginary"physical world".Its main hypotheses are wrong.The reference value of general equilibrium theory is near to zero.Actually,the purpose of studying economics in a mathematical way is to attain a superior position in the academic competition and the result of the excessive use of mathematics leads to a position of putting the cart before the horse.It makes the modern economics a self-admired theory.In addition,modern economics has also been established on the basis of wrong understandings and"anti-facts"definitions of technology,capital,labor and the relationship among them.Economics is an applied theory.We should obtain the ideas and conclusions from observing the reality,exploring psychological and spiritual causes of human beings' and economic activities by employing psychology,and also bringing moral factors into the consideration of economic problems.
