Many consider "Foundations of Economic Method" to be Lawrence Boland's best work. This updated edition is radically changed from the original and will be much appreciated by thinkers within economics. The book positions methodology vis-a-vis the current practice of economists and is all the better for it. This is yet another book that not only deserves to be read by those within the field of economic methodology, but also by those involved in economics "at all". Boland is back.
