Economics: the view from below
There is a long tradition among sociologists of using economics as an intellectual straw man.

متن کاملSuperstrings:the View from Below
We review the Standard Model in a form conducive to formulating its possible short distance extensions. This depends on the value of the Higgs mass, the only unknown parameter of the model.

We then investigate how the N = 1 Standard Mo...

And is it “morally bankrupt” to draw a distinction between ‘pure’ and ‘applied’ science? These claims, which were all made in a recent commentary in Nature Nanotechnology...
