Economics and History - A Clash of the Titans

Diane Coyle’s superb blog has a piece today on the recent clash between Gideon Rachman and Tim Harford - both FT journalists. Rachman has launched an attack on economic methodology and Tim Harford has responded with typical lucidity and poise. Diane’s blog gets to the heart of the debate and is well worth a read!
