Philip Mirowski, The Birth of the Business Cycle
No full textThe Birth of the Business Cycle results from a 1979 PhD dissertation by Philip Mirowski, a “lumbering and unwieldy manuscript” (according to the 1985 preface by the author), first revised in 1980 and discretely published in 1985 by Garland Publishing. Since then it could be found in some libraries but certainly not everywhere. Thirty years passed and it is now available for a larger public. Yet, Routledge preferred to print it as a facsimile of the original edition, failing to correct the mis..

A Revisionist's View of the History of Economic Thought: Interview with Philip Mirowski
No full textThis economic historian seeks to place the development of economic theory in its intellectual and cultural context. He sees economic theory as a subset of moral philosophy. As such, far from being a set of universal principles, economic theory evolves as our view of nature evolves.
Competition through Technical Progress
Get PDFThe relationship between technical progress and price competition is a controversial issue in economics. This paper highlights the fact that investment in technical progress is an authentic type of competition which benefits the consumers rather than the industry. This type of competition exists when the potential for technical progress, which can be incorporated by firms through investment, is high enough. Competition is, in fact, made up of two components: A static one which is known as price or quantity competition and a dynamic one, the Technical Progress competition which also contribute to reduce prices and increase quantities for consumers. Consequently, the economic factors that increase a firm's margin do not have to be viewed as the consumers' enemy, but rather as an ally, under specific conditions, because they allow higher investments in new technology by which firms increase their capacities and attract higher demand from consumers. This paper also underlines that, for a mature market, the maximum Consumer Surplus as well as Social Welfare are attained by a constant level of combined competition which is only dependent on the size of the market and the number of firms. The level of combined competition can be defined as the product of the static and the dynamic level of competition. As a consequence, the higher the potential of technical progress is, the lower the level of static competition must be in order to reach the maximum level of Consumer Surplus and Social Welfare. --Investment,Competition,Technical Progress,Dynamic Competition
¿Es la crítica de Philip Mirowski a la Filosofía de la ciencia extensible a la filosofía de la tecnología?
Get PDFSince the mid-1980s, Philip Mirowski has developed increasingly strong criticisms of the philosophy of science for its failures to appreciate the social dimensions of science. The goal of this paper will be to explore Mirowski’s controversial criticisms of the philosophy of science asking at the same time how they might be relevant to the philosophy of technology. The paper is divided in three main parts: the first examines the strengths and weaknesses of Mirowski’s criticisms of the philosophy of science. The second analyzes to what extent the philosophy of technology escapes or exhibits whatever faults Mirowski identifies in the philosophy of science. Finally, the third part is a conclusion about to what extent Mirowski fails properly to consider work in the philosophy of technology when developing his criticisms of the philosophy of science.Desde mediados de la década de 1980, arrecian las críticas de Philip Mirowski contra la filosofía de la ciencia por la incapacidad de ésta de apreciar adecuadamente las dimensiones sociales de la ciencia. El artículo analiza sus aportaciones y procura identificar en qué medida podría ser pertinente su aplicación al caso de la filosofía de la tecnología. El texto se divide en tres partes principales. En la primera se examinan las virtudes y debilidades de la crítica de Mirowski a la filosofía de la ciencia. La segunda parte está enfocada hacia un análisis de la filosofía de la tecnología, con el fin de ver si en ésta se cometen errores similares a los que Mirowski identifica en la filosofía de la ciencia. Por último, a modo de conclusión, se muestra que la propia crítica de Mirowski es sesgada al no tomar en consideración a la tecnología (ni a la filosofía de la tecnología) al pensar sobre la ciencia
