A formal inquiry into the scientific aspect of economic phenomena

Economic Science

The Economic Science research program is a formal inquiry into the scientific aspect of economic phenomena — the structural conditions under which economic activity can be known, represented, and theorized.

The program proceeds by structural determination rather than theoretical construction. Its results are not chosen from among available positions; they are forced by what survives when every simpler alternative fails under structural examination. Each volume advances a structural question that the preceding volumes make possible to state with precision.

The program is structured as a five-volume series — the Economic Science Pentalogy — each volume paired with a companion framework extending the formal arguments into applicable form. The series begins with the conditions a knowledge system must satisfy to be admissible as a science and extends to the permanent structural limits of economic science in principle.

Current state. Volume I — The Admissibility of Economic Science — is in final preparation for publication. Three papers establishing the structural domain, the representational grammar, and the compatibility conditions of economic science have been published. The remaining sections of Volume I are in final audit.
