A Discourse-Analytical Examination of Some Basic Assumptions and Concepts of Economics

In a further step, those views, concepts, and basic assumptions of economics that are not or hardly considered controversial in the works examined will now be illuminated a little more precisely. They will be listed and considered in alphabetical order (according to the German original edition) and subjected to a discourse-analytical examination and a comparison with the findings of other social sciences, but also with scientific knowledge and empirical findings. This examination must inevitably remain cursory and often can only touch on individual, few aspects, but an attempt will be made to at least sketch the problem situation and to clarify at least the urgency and the necessity of a more in-depth examination of them.
