Science-Mart

Discover the compelling insights of Philip Mirowski in his influential book, Science-Mart, published by Harvard University Press in 2011. Spanning 464 pages, this critical analysis explores the transformation of science in America since World War II, highlighting the profound impact of neoliberal ideology on scientific research. Mirowski argues that the perspective shift in the 1980s, which viewed scientific discoveries as commodities for profit rather than essential public goods, has led to a significant decline in the quality and integrity of scientific inquiry. Through meticulous research and thought-provoking commentary, Science-Mart unveils the complex relationship between economic interests and scientific integrity, inviting readers to reconsider the value of science in society. A must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of science and economics, this book is not to be missed!
