Applied Economics and the Critical Realist Critique by Paul Downward (Loughborough University, UK)
There is nothing like this on the market
Critical realism needs to have a more positive voice - this book has exactly that
With contributions from such varying commentators as Sheila Dow, Wendy Olsen and Fred Lee, this new book is unique in its approach and will be of great interest to both economic methodologists and those involved in applied economic studies
