Philip Pilkington
''The Reformation in Economics'' is a book written by the Irish economist Philip Pilkington. It is a book that aims to deconstruct contemporary neoclassical economic theory in order to determine to what extent it is scientific and to what extent it is ideological. The book is divided into three sections: ''Ideology and Methodology'', ''Stripped-Down Macroeconomics'' and ''Approaching the Real World''.
