Overview
This book explores anomalies in the conceptual basis of social control experiments and in the foundation of statistics and economics. Drawing upon several examples, the author argues that together such anomalies prevent microeconomics and statistics from providing a coherent understanding of human social behavior on par with the physical sciences. He concludes that social control experiments are a frequently overrated tool for social policy improvements.
