What is the correct concept behind measures of inflation? Does money cause business activity or is it the other way around? Shall we stimulate growth by raising aggregate demand or rather by lowering taxes and thereby providing incentives to produce?  Meer

In this book, Reiss argues in favor of a tight fit between evidence, concept and purpose in our causal investigations in the sciences. There is no doubt that the sciences employ a vast array of techniques to address causal questions such as controlled experiments, randomized trials, statistical and econometric tools, causal modeling and thought experiments.  Meer

Philosophy of Economics: A Contemporary Introduction is the first systematic textbook in the philosophy of economics. It introduces the epistemological, metaphysical and ethical problems that arise in economics, and presents detailed discussions of the solutions that have been offered.  Meer

In the commentaries to this book we try to understand d’Alembert thoughts and how he contrives to translate his ideas on mechanics to the fluid realm with a new and radical point of view; how he arrives at the first two fundamental differential equations among the velocity components; and how he tries to reduce the resistance of a moving body, which is a change of its momentum, to the hydrostatical pressure, which is related to the gravity.  Meer

De twaalfde-eeuwse Reis van Sint Brandaan behoort zonder enige twijfel tot de toppers van de Middelnederlandse letterkunde. De zwerftocht die de Ierse abt als straf voor zijn ongeloof in de wonderen van God volbracht en die hem tot het eind van de destijds bekende wereld voerde, heeft tot in de achttiende eeuw zeelui geïnspireerd op zoek te gaan naar het aards paradijs.  Meer
