“Wagner refers to the ancient Indian parable of the blind men and the elephant in suggesting that political economy is best approached from the standpoint of plausible reasoning rather than demonstrative reasoning. Plausible reasoning starts from the standpoint that the object of inquiry cannot be known in full detail to the inquirer. By contrast, demonstrative reasoning begins with a set of assumptions about human behavior, and then analyses the implications of those assumptions.” (05/10/25)
