Rhetoric of the New Institutional Economics

https://doi.org/10.32609/0042-8736-2010-5-81-95

Abstract

The article provides a rhetorical analysis of the New Institutional Economics based on the works of its main representatives - R. Coase, O. Williamson and D. North. The author exposes the specific features of scientific rhetoric characteristic for each of these scientists, reconstructs their biographies and shows, how and why their theories came to be integrated into mainstream economics.
