- Title
Die Wirtschaftswissenschaften in der Krise Vom massenmedialen Diskurs zu einer Wissenssoziologie der Wirtschaftswissenschaften.

- Abstract
During the recent economic crisis, various specialised reviews have been debating as to whether the overall failure to warn explicitly and in due time of the size the crisis might lead to the assumption of a skewed evolution and a crisis the discipline itself. The paper examines as a case study the controversy between the protagonists of the German ordoliberal tradition in economics and those of the modern macroeconomic mainstream and points from there to the neglected topic of a sociology of economics. Its main concern is to bring to mind and discuss existing contributions in the fields of the history of economic dogmas and of the social studies of science, and to explore how a genuine sociological approach might look like.
