International contributors are gathered here to reconsider Bruce Caldwell's Beyond Positivism, a classic treatise of economic methodology first published in 1982. Some topics explored include hypothetical pattern explanations in economic science, George Stigler's interpretation of the Coase theorem, and the controversy regarding the adding-up theorem. The book also provides a literature review of recent trends in economic methodology.
