Hunting Causes and Using Them Approaches in Philosophy and Economics
Look at what economists are saying. ‘Changes in the real GDP unidirectionally and significantly Granger cause changes in inequality.’1 Alternatively, ‘the evolution of growth and inequality must surely be the outcome of similar processes’ and ‘the policy maker . . . needs to balance the impact of...

of growth and inequality must surely be the outcome of similar processes’
and ‘the policy maker . . . needs to balance the impact of policies on both growth
and distribution’.2 Until a few years ago claims like this – real causal claims –
were in disrepute in philosophy and economics alike and sometimes in the other
social sciences as well. Nowadays causality is back, and with a vengeance. That
growth causes inequality is just one from a sea of causal claims coming from
economics and the other social sciences; and methodologists and philosophers
are suddenly in intense dispute about what these kinds of claims can mean and
how to test them. This collection is for philosophers, economists and social
scientists or for anyone who wants to understand what causality is, how to find
out about it and what it is good for |
