Uncertain futures : imaginaries, narratives, and calculation in the economy - Beckert, Jens, 1967-; Bronk, Richhard (Oxford : The University Press, 2018)
Uncertain Futures considers how economists visualize the future and decide how to act in conditions of uncertainty. Because dynamic capitalist economies are characterized by innovation and novelty they exhibit an indeterminacy that cannot be reduced. This book questions how expectations can be formed and decisions made in spite of uncertainty.
