More Heat than Light: Economics as Social Physics, Physics as Nature's Economics - Historical Perspectives on Modern Economics
Mirowski, Philip (Tufts University, Massachusetts)
More Heat than Light is a history of how physics has drawn some inspiration from economics and also how economics has sought to emulate physics, especially with regard to the theory of value. It traces the development of the energy concept in Western physics and its subsequent effect on the invention and promulgation of neoclassical economics.
