Llegia aquest dies un capítol de F. Graham a What Do Economists Contribute? i destaco un paràgraf que lliga amb el que deia abans.
The assertion that the scientist should be completely free of value judgments, even if it were realizable, is in itself, of course, a value judgment. There seems, moreover, to be no a priori reason for the contention that it is better to be cold than warm. On the contrary, a convincing case could be made for warm feelings and a cool choice of methods for their satisfaction. Science involves both analysis and synthesis and the synthesis must be purposive to some ulterior end. Science, and particularly social science, must be not only analytical but imaginative. The goal must be not exclusion of one or the other requirement but their maintenance in separate compartments of the mind so that they do not corrupt one another by miscegenation.I si la ciència no és lliure de judici de valor, tampoc ho és d'interessos. I essent aixina, millor que ho conegui l'audiència.
PS. La nova paraula del moment: REHYPOTECATION. Alarmant. Suposo que ara queda clar perquè UK vol mantenir-se fora de la zona euro.
