A deep dive into the Midwest experience through thought-provoking poems, recollections, essays, and vivid stories. Pondering nature and neighbors, bars and commutes-Bob Leonard's perspectives on these quiet aspects of life open up new ways of seeing everyday life. These little nods of Leonard's are at once tiny, but also everything. This is a book to provoke appreciation in the things we take for granted, and spark evenings spent reminiscing with friends and family about what it means to live in the Midwest, or anywhere one calls home.

Throughout the history of economic ideas, it has often been asserted that experimentation is impossible, yet, in fact, history shows that the idea of ‘experimentation’ has always been important, and as such has been interpreted and put to use in many ways. Rich in historical detail, the essays in this topical volume deal with such issues as laboratory experimentation, the observed transition from a post-war economics to a contemporary discipline, the contrasting positions of Friedrich Hayek and Oskar Morgenstern, the socio-economic experiments proposed by Ernest Solvay and Knut Wicksell, and a rigorous examination of the way in which economic models can or cannot be construed as valid experiments producing useful knowledge. A testament to the variety of ways in which experimentation has been of importance in the creation of economic knowledge, these wide-ranging essays will interest those seeking to expand their historical understanding of the discipline, be they theorists, historians, philosophers, advanced students or researchers.

The Experiment in the History of Economics

Tiré du site Internet de Revolver: ""This is the Trekka by Skoda. Replacing the outmoded classes of utility and recreational vehicles, Trekka's no nonsense rugged build unites the best of both, making you truly productive. To the dairy co-op or the trout pools, Trekka matches freedom with solidarity. Nothing is wasted on decadent luxury, without compromise on efficiency and power. A workhorse but the Trekka gets around. Almost saloon car comfort for you and your fellow travellers on the open road. Designed by New Zea-landers for New Zealand's conditions. And 85% New Zealand made. Trekka - all rugged - all vehicle - for everyone!" In his contribution for the New Zealand Pavilion on the occasion of the 50th Venice Biennial, Michael Stevenson examines the history of the hopelessly unsuccessful Trekka, an offroad vehicle built on a Skoda chassis which was sold about 2.300 times, tragicomically reflecting New Zealand's economic strategies during the Cold War.
