Description
This will be the last session of our reading group.
During the last session, we will discuss a paper by Soros (2013) to complement our journey in analyzing the Philosophy of Economics. Soros (2013) argues that: *"the failure [in economics] is more profound than generally recognized. It goes back to the foundations of economic theory."* Most importantly, the author describes a distinct epistemological approach to economic theorizing. This paper should serve as the pinnacle of our reading group that we started with Evolutionary Realism in November 2019.
Paper: George Soros (2013) Fallibility, reflexivity, and the human uncertainty principle,
Journal of Economic Methodology, 20:4, 309-329,

Date: 27. May 2020, 18:00 (CEST, Berlin)
Besides, it is mandatory to read the paper, since the discussion will be based on the paper assigned to each reading session.
Structure: First 30 minutes we will discuss key points from the paper. Then, we will move on to elaborate, criticize or analyze the ideas stated and try to connect the reading to the overall picture of the reading group.
Please do join us if you are interested.
Looking forward to having a fruitful closing discussion of our reading group!
