- Title
The Hidden Side of Economics Forays into Mainstream Culture.
- Authors
Krell, Eric
- Abstract
The article offers observation on the influential presence of modern economics in mainstream culture since its inception. It observes that much of what mainstream economists do today is to apply sophisticated statistical techniques where they have not been applied before and as the availability of data increased, economists branched out to answer many questions that other social scientists and economists did not previously address. It also reveals that the number of degrees in economics awarded by colleges and universities in the U.S. increased by a total of 56.7% from 1997-2005.
